Is Therapeutic Laser Treatment Right for Your Pet?

Bob — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:40:30 +0000

Therapeutic laser is used to treat many chronic and acute diseases.

Laser therapy is pain-free and provides a drug-free treatment used for a variety of diseases. Studies have shown that pets experience a strong reduction of pain and increased mobility after completing a course of treatment. This effect can last 4 to 72 hours after the first session has been done.

Laser therapy is for pets of all ages—from the young to the geriatric. This revolutionary treatment works for pain and inflammation from any cause.

Laser is the only treatment that works by stimulating the body to heal from within. Continuous laser emissions act fast on inflammation, stimulating the blood and lymphatic circulation and inducing fast re-absorption of fluids. This has a secondary effect on pain, which is diminished after reducing the inflammatory process. Pulsed laser emissions have immediate effect on pain by interfering with the transmission of pain impulses to the higher brain center.
