5 Health Benefits of Laser Therapy For your Duarte & Azusa Pets

Your Duarte Azusa veterinarian is proud to offer cold laser therapy for pets, which is a non-invasive and drug-free way to lower pain, improve joint function and help wounds heal.

Lower Levels of Pain

Cold laser therapy aids in the release of endorphins, which helps lower pain levels in dogs and cats. It can even provide pain management for pets with conditions that cause chronic pain.

Reduced Inflammation and Healing

The low-level laser helps heal tissues on a cellar level while very slightly warming the area and increasing circulation. This helps reduce soft tissue inflammation and increases the rate of healing for wounds and lacerations.

Improved Joint Function

In pets with joint problems, like arthritis and hip dysplasia, cold laser therapy reduces pain and improves the range of motion of the joint. Pet owners often notice an increase in activity levels after the first treatment.

Relaxation

Most pets are very relaxed during the treatments and will lay on the treatment table without assistance. This is because pets quickly associate the treatments with feeling better.

No Side-Effects

Laser therapy treatments do not cause any side-effects, and your pet does not need to be shaved or prepared for the treatments.

Your Pet’s Cold Laser Therapy Appointment with our Duarte Azusa Animal Hospital

Cold laser therapy sessions with our Duarte veterinarian can help treat a variety of illnesses and ailments, including wounds and cuts that are slow to heal, lick granulomas, arthritis, infections and sprains and strains. Pet cold laser therapy treatments generally take between 10 and 20 minutes. During the treatment, our veterinarian will hold the laser therapy wand over the area to be treated. The light penetrates the soft tissues to help reduce pain and improve healing. After the treatment, your pet is free to continue his day without any medical restrictions.
