Why Treat with Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy provides you with a versatile, technician-driven tool that is a trustworthy adjunct to existing treatments – and can generate clinical victories on hard-to-treat-conditions where pain and inflammation are present.  

Treatments are non-invasive, drug and surgery-free and can be administered in 1-10 minutes.  Clients enjoy being involved with their pet’s treatment as they see their loved one quickly relax as their pain is soothed away. 

Evidence:

There is a vast body of research supporting the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM).  For PBM to occur, a therapeutic dose of light is delivered to impaired or dysfunctional tissue, which leads to a cellular response mediated by mitochondrial mechanisms that reduce pain and inflammation and speed healing.¹  There are a number of factors that can help maximize the amount of light that reaches target tissue, including:  proper wavelength selection, sufficient laser power, reducing reflection off the skin, and minimizing absorption by molecules not involved in photobiomodulation.
