Pet Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a gentle, drug-free treatment that reduces pain and promotes healing for pets with arthritis, injuries, or post-surgical recovery, enhancing comfort and mobility.

What Is Pet Laser Therapy?

Pet laser therapy uses low-level laser light to penetrate the tissue and stimulate cellular activity. This process promotes healing by increasing blood flow, reducing swelling, and releasing endorphins, which help alleviate pain. It is commonly used to treat both acute and chronic conditions in pets.

Conditions Treated with Pet Laser Therapy

Laser therapy can benefit pets suffering from a variety of conditions, including:

  • Arthritis and joint pain – Helps reduce inflammation and improve mobility
  • Post-surgical recovery – Speeds up healing by promoting cell regeneration
  • Wounds and skin issues – Accelerates tissue repair for cuts, abrasions, and infections.
  • Muscle and ligament injuries – Relieves discomfort and promotes faster recovery
  • Ear infections – Reduces inflammation and discomfort in chronic cases
