Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation, is a painless treatment that uses clinically tested wavelengths of light to stimulate natural biological processes, such as endorphin release and the stimulation of injured cells. This leads to faster healing and pain relief.
-
How It Works:
-
Vasodilation: Laser therapy opens blood vessels to decrease inflammation and activates the lymphatic system to drain swollen areas.
-
Pain Relief: It decreases nerve sensitivity by stimulating nerve cells that block pain signals from being transmitted to the brain.
-
Endorphin Production: Laser treatments stimulate the production of naturally occurring endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers), further counteracting your pet’s pain.
-
Because there is less inflammation, reduced swelling, and an interruption of pain signals to the brain, your pet will experience less pain. This non-invasive, pain-free, surgery-free, and drug-free treatment can be used to treat a variety of conditions and pairs nicely with existing treatments.
Benefits of Laser Therapy
-
Postoperative Recovery:
Laser therapy is a very helpful tool during postoperative recovery. In minor cases, laser therapy alone may be enough to alleviate pain and stimulate the healing process. -
Targeted Relief:
Laser treatments work directly on injured or affected areas, helping to:-
Speed up healing.
-
Strengthen muscle and tissue.
-
Improve mobility.
-
Enhance your dog's overall quality of life almost immediately.
-
What to Expect During Treatment
-
Duration:
A technician will hold the laser probe directly over the affected area for 3 to 10 minutes. -
Experience for Your Pet:
-
There is no pain associated with the treatment, and most pets will relax during this time.
-
Immediate relief of pain will make your pet comfortable, and any initial anxiety they feel will quickly dissipate.
-
Occasionally, some pets even fall asleep during their therapy sessions.
-
Treatment Frequency
Although improvement is often seen after the first visit, your dog’s condition will determine how often and how long laser therapy is necessary.
-
Cumulative Benefits:
Laser treatments are cumulative, meaning each additional treatment facilitates greater improvement. -
Treatment Plan:
After an initial evaluation, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your dog’s specific needs.
