What is laser therapy?

Laser therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and support tissue repair without causing discomfort.

How does laser therapy work?

​Therapeutic laser light penetrates the body's tissues and is absorbed by cells, encouraging increased cellular energy production. This can help accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and support the repair of damaged tissues.

Many dogs find laser therapy relaxing, and treatments are generally quick and painless.

What are treatments like?

Laser therapy treatments are fast and pain-free, making them well-tolerated by most pets. There is no clipping or shaving required for the treatment area. When your pet arrives for therapy they will be situated in a comfortable position, and be outfitted with laser-safe doggles. You will also receive laser-safe eyewear to wear during treatment if you remain with your pet during therapy. Treatment time varies depending on the number and size of the treatment area and the condition being treated but is typically between 5 and 15 minutes.
