Deep-penetrating photons from the laser influence cell chemistry in a variety of beneficial ways. In addition, the infrared wavelengths create a warm sensation in your pet’s body at the precise location. Clinical studies and trials of laser therapy technology indicate the following beneficial effects of laser light therapy on tissues and cells:
- Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth
- Faster wound healing
- Reduced fibrous tissue formation
- Anti-inflammation
- Analgesia
- Increased vascular activity
- Increased metabolic activity
- Improved nerve function
- Regulated immune system
- Trigger point and acupuncture point stimulation
Our veterinary team will adjust treatment time, power and laser pulse frequency based on your pet’s individual condition and body size. With our newest and most powerful laser therapy unit, we are able to reduce the treatment time. Although improvement is often seen after the first visit, most patients require multiple treatments to experience the full benefits of laser therapy.
