How light therapy can improve your pet’s mobility and comfort

What is laser therapy?

Therapeutic laser treatment delivers light energy to injured or inflamed areas to control pain and speed up healing. 

What can laser therapy be used for?

• Chronic pain (e.g. osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, IVDD)
• Acute injuries (e.g. cruciate ligament and muscle strains)
• Wound healing and skin issues
• Post-surgical recovery
• Dental and oral health 

How does laser work?

When the light reaches the injured tissue, it boosts cell energy, improving blood flow and reducing swelling. This helps the area get more oxygen and nutrients to heal faster. Laser therapy also triggers natural pain relief by releasing endorphins.

Is laser therapy safe for my pet?

Yes! Laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment. It is pain-free and has no side effects, using only light energy to stimulate healing.

How long will laser take to work?

Some animals start feeling relief immediately, however it may take a few weeks of treatment to see noticeable improvement. Laser therapy works gradually to reduce inflammation and pain, so it often gets better over time.
