Cold Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is an important part of any pet's rehabilitation program. It can help with many conditions including muscle, tendon and ligament strains and tears, osteoarthritis, neurological disorders, wound healing, and more. It is a safe and natural alternative to other therapies that uses light to facilitate natural processes.

The most important benefit of laser therapy is the anti-inflammatory effect. Reduced inflammation normalizes vascular function which provides and anti-edema effect. The laser decreases inflammatory markers similar to the way non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) work, but without the use of drugs. This is ideal for pets that cannot take these systemic drugs due to other health issues, or for owners wanting a more natural approach to pain relief for their pets.

Laser energy is absorbed into the cells at a mitochondrial level results in a higher production of cellular energy that facilitates morphological and functional recovery of damage caused by disease, injury, or excessive or prolonged inflammation. 

Laser therapy also stimulates collagen and fibroblast synthesis which leads to new an increase in new blood vessel formation allowing more blood to the localized area speeding the repair of injured tissues.
