It is difficult to see our pets going through painful and debilitating conditions. This is where laser therapy treatment comes in. After extensive research on the different types of laser therapy available, we selected the Companion Therapy Laser to add to our practice. Companion Therapy Laser is an FDA approved medical treatment that uses low-level lasers to stimulate the natural healing capabilities of the body. This treatment involves a deep penetrating light that helps the body release endorphins and stimulates the injured cells to heal faster than normal. So, in simple terms, what are the benefits of this technology?
It’s safe! Many of our clients enjoy this option because it gives them an alternative to using pharmaceuticals. Instead, laser therapy stimulates cellular activity to utilize the body’s own natural, healing powers. This means no dangerous side effects!
It’s painless! This treatment does not cause pain but is, in fact, a pain reliever because it reduces inflammation which then results in pain reduction.This type of therapy helps to reduce pain in chronic or acute conditions, promote healing after surgery, improve wound care, and help with other issues such as ear infections or ringworm.
It’s fast! Treatments to deeper tissues are administered in only five to ten minutes. Yes, it’s that quick! Despite short treatment times, laser therapy treatments initiate a healing process that continues to actively reduce inflammation for up to twenty-four hours after treatment. So it’s a win-win scenario in this case.
We are passionate about providing affordable, comprehensive health care by utilizing modern-day technologies. Companion laser therapy is offered at our Gilbert Veterinary Clinic. If you have any questions or concerns about this treatment, feel free to contact us.
