Laser Treatment / Therapy

Therapeutic lasers use light waves of a specific wavelength to cause photobiomodulation, (alteration of cellular and tissue physiology). Light absorbed by the cell helps to activate cells to promote growth, proliferation, migration, and repair.

The type and depth of tissue that responds to laser therapy depends on the wavelength of the light. Most therapeutic lasers use red or near-infrared light, which has a wavelength of 600–1070 nanometers. Beams of lower wavelengths are absorbed by superficial tissue, such as the skin. Beams of higher wavelengths penetrate deeper to muscles and bones.

Laser therapy helps tissue repair by:

  • Endorphin release

  • Increases blood flow

  • Muscle relaxation

  • Decreased inflammation

  • Faster healing and repair

The main clinical benefits of laser use in pets include decreased inflammation, decreased pain, and improved wound healing. Therefore an ideal therapy to help with chronic arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries. 

Laser therapy can be used on its own or in combination with a chiropractic treatment. Please contact us for more information or to discuss your pet.
