Cold Laser Therapy

We’re excited to be able to offer our clients this cutting-edge therapy option. Cold Laser Therapy is a painless treatment that can last a few seconds to many minutes, depending on the condition and area being treated. Your pet may experience a comfortable sensation at the point of application, but it is common to have no sensation during the treatment.  Your pet should not feel any heat during the treatment, which is unique to MLS Laser Therapy.

Effects of Cold Laser Therapy:

  1. Reduced Inflammation (Vasodilation and Activation of Lymphatic Drainage System)

  2. Reduced Pain (Blocks Pain Signals Transmitted to Nerve Cells)

  3. Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth

  4. Improved Vascular Activity

  5. Increases Metabolic Activity

  6. Stimulation of Trigger and Acupuncture Points

  7. Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation from Cuts, Burns, etc.

  8. Improved Nerve Function

  9. Immunoregulation

  10. Faster Wound Healing (Stimulation of Fibroblast Development)

What to Expect:

No sedation and minimal restraint is required. The experience is usually pleasant and non-stressful for patients. Improvement is often seen after the first visit; however, most patients require several treatments (3 to 8) for the greatest benefit. A sample treatment schedule might be every other day for one week (3 treatments), followed by once or twice weekly for two weeks, and then follow-up therapies as needed.
