Cold laser therapy helps treat patients using low-level lasers designed to alter cellular function, helping the body heal and repair damaged and injured tissues. Cold laser therapy is often used in humans to help reduce inflammation and increase intracellular metabolism, which veterinarians are now using to help treat their patients. Our staff at Power Road Animal Hospital is dedicated to finding new and innovative ways to help your pets and is now offering new cold laser therapy for patients in Mesa.
What is Cold Laser Therapy for Pets?
Cold laser therapy for pets is similar to the treatment used to treat humans. However, this treatment method uses a low-level laser designed to penetrate the skin and reach the targeted area, providing pain relief and helping to reduce inflammation. Additionally, this form of therapy helps encourage intracellular metabolism, which significantly reduces healing time.
What Does Cold Laser Therapy Help Relieve?
Cold laser therapy helps relieve various ailments in pets, including pain, injuries, muscle strains, chronic pain, burns, arthritis, and frozen joints.
The Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy
Pets can benefit significantly from cold laser therapy. This includes quick treatments that provide significant pain relief. Additional benefits of cold laser therapy include the treatment being safe, non-invasive, and non-toxic, reducing the need for surgery.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Like humans, every dog is different, and the treatment each dog receives will affect them differently. Because of this, it is not always known exactly how many cold laser therapy treatments your dog will need. Some dogs start to feel better after a couple of treatments, while others require ongoing care and cold laser therapy. Our veterinarians can estimate the treatments needed based on the dog’s condition and severity.
The Results
The effects of the laser therapy treatments on a pet are cumulative, and though many pet owners see results within the first 12 to 24 hours, some do not see any results until after a few treatments. Many will see significant changes after a few weeks of treatment.
