Laser therapy involves directing infra-red radiation into inflamed or damaged tissues to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.

The laser is placed in direct contact with the skin which enables light photons to penetrate the tissue.

Laser helps to create an increased local blood supply, a reduction in inflammation and an increase in the speed of tissue repair.

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits to laser therapy:

– Anti-inflammatory effect

– Mild pain relief

– Accelerated tissue repair

– Soothing muscle tension

– Faster wound healing

– Reduction of scar tissue

– Improved nerve function

What happens to my pet during laser therapy?

The laser sessions are non-painful, and last approximately 3-10 minutes. Pets generally require several sessions of laser therapy in most cases.

There are no known side-effects of laser therapy, and many pets find laser therapy quite relaxing as the laser warms the area!
