What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy, scientifically known as photobiomodulation, uses laser light to promote healing by penetrating deep into tissues. Unlike regular light, laser light is coherent, monochromatic, collimated, and polarized, allowing it to reach deeper tissues and activate cellular processes. These effects include accelerated tissue repair, reduced inflammation, and pain relief.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

Laser therapy influences cell chemistry by activating or inhibiting chromophores—pigmented molecules within cells. This process boosts the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which accelerates cellular functions. It also helps reduce pain and inflammation by promoting the release of endogenous chemicals and hormones. The therapy produces a gentle warmth at the treatment site, providing additional comfort for your pet.

What to Expect During Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is typically a relaxing and pleasant experience for pets. Sedation is usually not required, and pets do not need to have their fur clipped. Each session lasts between 2 to 8 minutes, depending on the size and number of treatment sites.

 

Treatment Schedule

While some improvement may be noticed after the first treatment, most pets require several sessions (3 to 8) to achieve full results. For chronic pain, we typically recommend treatments twice a week for the first four weeks, followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 weeks.
