Class IV Laser Therapy
A gentle, non-invasive approach to pain relief and healing
Laser therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to support healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve comfort and mobility.
The therapeutic light is absorbed by the tissues being treated, helping to support healing, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. This can assist the body in recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions while helping to ease pain and improve mobility.
The treatment is gentle, painless and non-invasive, making it a comfortable option for many dogs as part of their rehabilitation journey.

Common questions about laser therapy:
-
Not at all. Laser therapy is painless, emitting only a gentle heat.
-
The number of sessions depends on your dog's condition, goals, and response to treatment. Some pets benefit from a short course of treatments, while others with chronic conditions may benefit from ongoing sessions.
-
Absolutely. Laser therapy is best when combined with hydrotherapy, remedial massage, and therapeutic exercise to support recovery, reduce discomfort, and improve overall outcomes.
-
Yes. Laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that has been widely used in both human and veterinary medicine. Treatments are performed using specialised equipment and tailored to your dog's individual condition and comfort level.
As a precaution, both your dog and the people in the room will wear protective eyewear during treatment.
-
Some dogs show signs of improvement after just a few treatments, while others may require a longer course of therapy. Every pet responds differently, and progress is monitored continually.
-
Laser therapy is one of the first tools that can be used after surgery. With the vet or surgeon’s OK, laser can be used postoperatively to help support pain, swelling, inflammation, soft tissue and bone healing before activity can begin.
