How Cold Laser Therapy Helps Your Pet
We are always learning new and better ways to treat our patients, and we’re dedicated to using the latest veterinary technologies available. Cold laser therapy is one way we do that. Therapeutic applications include treatment for pain relief, reduced swelling, arthritis pain and inflammation, and sore backs.
Cold laser therapy can be used after surgery to help increase blood flow to local areas, improving healing. For this same reason, it is also helpful for wound healing. It can also be used for chronic pain, helping to increase blood flow to affected areas as part of a broader pain management plan. We have also seen great success using this therapy for patients managing kidney-related conditions, often alongside internal medicine care.
Who Can Benefit from Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free option that can complement many other treatments at our hospital, including recovery after dental procedures or ongoing support for senior pets receiving hospice care. Because it’s gentle and generally well tolerated, most pets find their laser therapy sessions relaxing rather than stressful.
Our veterinarians will let you know during a wellness exam if cold laser therapy could benefit your pet’s specific condition, and can build it into a broader treatment plan alongside nutritional counseling or other supportive care.
