How Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy involves a small hand-held device that emits laser light at different frequencies, suited to your pet’s condition. The light waves penetrate deep into damaged tissue, stimulating blood flow and cell production. This helps to reduce pain and inflammation and speed up healing.
Our trained technicians administer the therapy. Depending on your pet’s condition, one session could last anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. Additionally, your pet may benefit from more frequent sessions in a long-term treatment plan, particularly if they have a chronic condition. Since laser therapy is cumulative, their therapy schedule will likely decrease in frequency over time. Our veterinarians will discuss your pet’s options with you and determine the best schedule to suit you both.
If you think your pet would benefit from laser therapy, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at (479) 251-8387 or schedule an appointment online today.
