Laser Therapy

Non-invasive, drug-free and pain-free, laser therapy involves applying non-thermal photons to an area of your pet’s body. In only a few minutes the laser can stimulate your pet’s cells to improve circulation, lessen inflammation and speed up healing. As your resource for laser therapy in Klamath Falls, we are here to explain how laser therapy works and to help you determine if it is right for your furry friend. How Laser Therapy Works

When you think of a laser, you probably imagine a high-powered beam slicing through materials with ease. While there are certain lasers that can do a great deal of destruction, there are also lasers designed to heal. The laser used by your veterinarian in Klamath Falls emits non-thermal photons – which means it does not heat up or burn your pet. Instead, the photons penetrate into deeper tissues and stimulate those tissues on a cellular level. Essentially, the stimulation causes the cells to speed up the body’s own healing process.

When laser therapy is applied to an injury, the cells begin to produce more fuel, replicate more quickly and repair faster than they would on their own. Blood flow is increased to the site of the injury, while inflammation decreases. Throughout the process, the different factors that cause pain at the injury site are lessened, so not only does the injury begin to heal more quickly – your pet also experiences less pain.

Pet Laser Therapy Treatment For A Variety Of Issues

Pet laser therapy can be effective at treating numerous injuries and conditions, including:

• Ear infections

• Skin problems (infections, hot spots, lick granulomas)

• Arthritis

• Hip dysplasia

• Dental issues

• Fractures

• Abrasions

• Lesions

• Sprains

• Post-surgery pain

Advantages Of Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is exciting noT only for what it does but also for the things it does not do. The therapy is non-invasive, which means there is no need to perform surgery or otherwise damage your pet’s body to apply treatment. It is also drug-free, so your pet does not need to take any medication for it to work. Although surgery and medication can be appropriate forms of treatment when necessary, it is always preferable to take the gentlest route available. Laser therapy offers that route – a way to get relief for your pet with minimum risk of side effects or other undesirable outcomes.
