Cold Laser Therapy
Lasers have a biochemical and photochemical effect on living cells. These photons stimulate each individual cell to revitalize and reactivate its own healing processes through a biochemical cascade of events. Laser therapy is not painful and requires no anesthetic. Your pet will feel a warm sensation that they may even find relaxing. Response time varies but most owners see a difference after only a few treatments. Therapy sessions can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour depending on the area(s) being treated. These sessions are performed in a quiet and comfortable “laser” room.
