That's why we are proud to offer pet laser therapy (or veterinary laser therapy) as part of our veterinary care services for cats and dogs in Spring, TX. 

What is Pet Laser Therapy?

Pet Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that utilizes the power of light to promote healing and alleviate pain in pets. It has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, cellulite, joint pain, and ligament injuries.

How Pet Laser Therapy Works

During a pet laser therapy session, our trained veterinary staff will use a handheld device that delivers a light beam to the targeted area. The laser light stimulates cells to produce more energy (ATP), which accelerates the repair of damaged tissues, reduces inflammation, and improves blood circulation. This process, called photobiomodulation, helps alleviate pain and speeds up recovery. The treatment is painless and often soothing for pets, as the laser produces a gentle warming sensation.

How Many Treatments Does my Pet Need?

The duration and frequency of the sessions will depend on your pet's specific condition and response to treatment. Our veterinary care team will create a tailored treatment plan that helps your furry friend experience relief and maximizes effectiveness.

• Session Duration: Each session typically lasts between 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the pet, the area being treated, and the severity of the condition.

• Number of Treatments: The number of sessions required varies based on the condition being treated. Acute issues may require 1-3 sessions, while chronic conditions like arthritis may need ongoing treatments (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly) for maintenance.

What Ailments Does Pet Laser Therapy Address?

Pet laser therapy is versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Pain Management: Arthritis, joint pain, and post-surgical pain
• Inflammation Reduction: Tendonitis, bursitis, and soft tissue injuries
• Wound Healing: Cuts, abrasions, and surgical incisions

• Neurological Conditions: Nerve injuries and intervertebral disc disease
• Other Uses: Chronic ear infections, gingivitis, and muscle strains

Benefits of Pet Laser Therapy

• Pain Management: Laser therapy is an effective pain management option for pets. The laser light stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers produced by the body. This helps to reduce discomfort and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis and joint pain. Your pet will experience increased mobility and an improved overall quality of life because of the pain relief.

• Accelerated Healing: Laser therapy promotes increased blood flow which helps the body heal from various injuries. This enhanced blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, aiding in the repair and regeneration process. This can help your pet heal from a wound, surgical incision, or soft tissue injury.

• Reduced Inflammation: Inflammation is a common response to injury or disease in pets. Excessive inflammation can lead to pain and hinder the healing process. Laser therapy increases lymphatic drainage and decreases the production of Inflammatory mediators. This will reduce swelling and pain, alleviating discomfort.

• Non-Invasive and Safe: Pet laser therapy does not use any medication and does not require any incisions. There is no risk of complications or injuries caused by pet laser therapy.
