Laser Therapy

Reduce pain and speed up healing

Laser Therapy in the Comfort of Your Home

Have you ever heard of pet Laser Therapy? It's a relatively new service that is becoming more and more popular among pet owners. But what exactly is it? Simply put, laser therapy is the use of lasers to treat various medical conditions. It's painless, non-invasive, and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's take a closer look at how it works and what conditions it can be used to treat.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing. When applied to the skin, the light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by cells in the body. This triggers a biological response that helps improve cell function and promote healing.

During a pet Laser Therapy session, the therapist will apply a hand-held device (called a laser wand) to your pet's skin. The wand emits low doses of infrared light or visible red light, depending on the wavelength being used. They will move the wand across the treatment area for a few minutes, depending on your pet's condition.

Most pets tolerate the treatments well and don't require sedation.

What Conditions Can Be Treated With Laser Therapy?

Pet laser therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, both chronic and acute. Some of the most common conditions that are treated with laser therapy include:

  • arthritis

  • hip dysplasia

  • joint problems

  • pain relief

  • post-surgical healing

Benefits of Laser Therapy

Pet laser therapy offers numerous benefits for dogs and cats of all ages:

  • The therapy is painless, non-invasive, and does not require sedation or recovery time.

  • Most importantly, it's an effective treatment for reducing pain and inflammation associated with chronic conditions like arthritis as well as acute conditions like surgery recovery.

  • Laser therapy can also be used for preventative purposes. For example, if your dog is prone to developing joint problems later in life, regular laser therapy sessions can help reduce the risk of these problems developing or slow their progression if they do occur.

Holistic Pet uses a high-powered Class 4 (IV) Laser (with 810nm + 980nm wavelengths). It allows delivering the target therapeutic dose for the relevant condition, even for deep tissues. For best results, it is important to administer the therapeutic dose with consecutive treatments over a few weeks.
