Request an AppointmentNumerous studies have shown that laser therapy can effectively address issues such as arthritis, joint pain, ligament sprains, muscle strains, dog and cat bites, feline acne and asthma, hotspots, post-surgery or trauma pain, hip dysplasia, lick granulomas, and snake or insect bites.
How Laser Therapy Supports Recovery
Laser therapy is often used as a complement to other treatments rather than a replacement. Pets recovering from pet surgery or orthopedic surgery frequently benefit from a series of laser sessions to reduce post-operative swelling and speed healing. It’s also a helpful option for pets with chronic joint pain, arthritis, or ongoing skin issues managed by our pet dermatology team.
What to Expect During a Session
Laser therapy sessions are quick, painless, and typically well tolerated by pets. Most pets feel a gentle, soothing warmth during treatment and often relax or even fall asleep. Sessions are usually done as part of a series, with your veterinarian recommending the right frequency based on your pet’s condition.
Many of our patients have already experienced the benefits of laser therapy with great success. If you think your pet could benefit or want to learn more, please give our office a call today at (817) 514-8387.
