Pet Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is an innovative and effective therapeutic option that is increasingly being used in veterinary medicine.
Here’s how pet laser therapy at Touhy Animal Hospital works:
- Professional Assessment: Before starting pet laser therapy, a veterinarian will conduct a thorough examination of your pet to assess their condition and determine if laser therapy is the appropriate course of treatment. Laser therapy is often used to address a variety of conditions, such as osteoarthritis, joint pain, musculoskeletal injuries, wound healing, and more.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, the veterinarian will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs. The plan will outline the frequency and duration of the laser therapy sessions.
- Non-Invasive Procedure: During the pet laser therapy session, a trained veterinarian or technician will use a handheld device to deliver targeted laser light to the affected areas of your pet’s body. The laser light penetrates the skin and reaches the underlying tissues, promoting cellular metabolism and the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
- Promoting Healing and Pain Relief: The increased energy production in the cells helps to accelerate the healing process, reduce inflammation, and provide pain relief for your pet. Laser therapy also activates nerve cells, which can help to decrease pain signals sent to the brain.
- Stress-Free Treatment: Pet laser therapy is typically painless and well-tolerated by pets. It does not require sedation or anesthesia, making it a stress-free and safe option for many pets.
- Multiple Sessions: The number of laser therapy sessions required varies depending on the pet’s condition and response to treatment. Some pets may experience improvement after just one session, while others may require several sessions over the course of several weeks.
- Complementary Treatment: Pet laser therapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments and therapies to provide comprehensive care and support for the pet’s overall health and well-being.
