Laser therapy is another exciting treatment option for arthritis and joint pain, inflammation and wound therapy. Our LiteCure Class IV laser provides safe and effective therapy, which can be used in conjunction with acupuncture and medications; in some cases, it can reduce or eliminate the need for pain medications.
Laser treatment is suitable for dogs and cats, produces a mild soothing heat over the treatment area and is free from side effects. The laser light is able to penetrate deeply into the tissue and provide energy that stimulates cellular respiration to promote healing. The light energy also affects nerves directly reducing the transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system. The net result is increased rate of healing and decreased pain: a great combination!
