BENEFITS OF LASER THERAPY FOR PETS
Therapeutic Effects: The painless application of laser energy promotes increased circulation, creating an optimal healing environment. Treatment reduces inflammation-swelling-muscle spasm-stiffness and pain.
Cellular Effects: Laser interacts with tissues at cellular level. Increased metabolic activity stimulates transport of nutrients. Promotes healing process and relieves pain. It increases oxygenation of tissues and allows injured or damaged cells to absorb photons of light, which speeds healing. Class 4 laser therapy can be effectively combined with a number of other treatment modalities.
Anti-inflammatory: Laser light has an ‘anti-edemic’ (anti-swelling) effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system (drains swollen areas). As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation. Anti-pain (analgesia): Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to less inflammation, there is less ‘edema’ and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins from the brain and adrenal gland.
What to expect: Pet experience is usually pleasant and comforting. Most sites require several treatments as laser therapy is cumulative. Treatments are 2-8 minutes long and best results are with three to eight treatments depending on condition.
Benefits: Quick results- pain free treatments- very few side effects ever recorded - advanced laser engineering at the forefront of technology.
