How Therapeutic Laser Works

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into tissues without causing damage or heat. This light energy stimulates:

  • Increased circulation and blood flow
  • Reduction in inflammation and swelling
  • Enhanced cell repair and regeneration
  • Natural pain relief by releasing endorphins

Sessions are quick, gentle, and well-tolerated — even by sensitive pets. Most treatments take just a few minutes and can be performed during a regular visit or as part of a broader treatment plan.

Conditions Treated with Laser Therapy

This procedure is beneficial for treating both chronic and acute conditions, including:

  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Hip dysplasia
  • Intervertebral disc disease
  • Lameness or limping
  • Post-surgical healing
  • Soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains)
  • Wounds or skin infections
  • Ear infections and hot spots
  • Dental inflammation

Whether your pet is recovering from an injury or managing a lifelong condition, laser therapy may help improve comfort and mobility without medication.

What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Session

Laser therapy appointments are calm, quiet, and completely non-invasive. Your pet will feel a warm, soothing sensation as the handheld laser is gently moved over the treatment area.

Most pets find the sessions relaxing, and some even fall asleep during treatment. The number of sessions recommended depends on your pet’s condition and treatment goals. Acute issues may resolve in a few sessions, while chronic conditions may benefit from ongoing treatments.

Benefits of Pet Laser Therapy

Laser therapy offers several health benefits for pets without the need for surgery or medication:

  • Non-invasive, drug-free pain management
  • Reduces inflammation and swelling
  • Accelerates healing of injuries and surgical sites
  • Improves mobility and flexibility
  • Enhances your pet’s quality of life

This safe, effective treatment can be used on its own or alongside other therapies, making it a versatile part of your pet’s care plan.
