Low Level Laser Therapy- beyond “frickin’ laser beams”

What is therapeutic laser treatment and how does it help your pet?

Low level laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy, can help treat pain in pets by:

• Reducing inflammation:

  Laser therapy uses a focused beam of light to widen blood vessels, which reduces inflammation.

• Reducing swelling:

  The lymphatic draining system is activated, which helps drain excess fluid from the area.

• Stimulating nerve cells:

  Nerve cells are stimulated to block pain signals from reaching the brain, which lowers nerve sensitivity.

• Releasing endorphins:

  Laser therapy stimulates the production of endorphins, which counteract pain.

• Increasing blood flow:

  Laser therapy increases blood flow to the area, which brings in oxygen and cells that help with healing.

• Relaxing muscles:

  Laser therapy helps muscles relax.

• Accelerating healing:

  Laser therapy helps speed up the body's natural healing process.

Laser therapy is generally considered safe and effective for pets.

It can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including tissue injuries, arthritis, and diseases.
