Cold Laser Therapy

Veterinary Cold Laser

Veterinarian cold laser therapy for pets is a technology used mainly for rehabilitation. This involves the application of light energy through the skin and into the body to trigger cells to regenerate and heal themselves. Cold laser therapy is non-invasive, largely painless, and drug-free.

Cold laser therapy for animals can work well with other holistic pain management therapies to enhance the benefits and effects. It is the ideal therapy for high-risk pets who cannot take medication or are disabled.

How Cold Laser Therapy Works on Pets

Cold laser therapy works on animals as it does on humans. It still interacts with the body on a cellular level to help kick-start the healing process and reduce pain.

The process might look something like the following:

• A pet wellness exam is done to confirm a diagnosis.
• There is no need to shave the pet or sedate him.
• The owner holds the pet on a mat while the technician applies the laser wand to the animal’s skin, where the target area is located.
• The session typically lasts a short time.

Benefits of Veterinary Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy can provide pain relief and a number of benefits, including the fact that it can help:

• Release endorphins into the bloodstream
• Increase blood flow and oxygen to injured or damaged cells
• Relax muscle tissues
• Reduce inflammation
• Stimulate faster healing
• Breaks down scar tissue structures
• Releases pain built up in trigger points
• Aids the healing of infections
