PRESERVING YOUR EQUINE OR CANINE ATHLETE'S SOUNDNESS & MOBILITY

WHAT IS COLD LASER THERAPY AND HOW CAN MY PET BENEFIT FROM IT?

If your pet has sustained an injury, undergone orthopedic surgery, or suffers from arthritis or other painful conditions, they may be a candidate for laser therapy. The laser not only speeds the healing process but affects the overall quality of the repaired tissue. Muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries require increased collagen production for successful healing and laser stimulates this function. The light also increases vascular growth and dilation for improved circulation in pets that may have limited movement. Pets experiencing pain from their condition may find relief from cold laser treatments. The biochemical effect of the laser boosts the body's production of endorphins. Because of this pain relief, it is less likely your pet will need additional pain medication which can have harmful side effects.
