Pet Laser Therapy
Garland Road Small Animal Hospital is excited to offer pet laser therapy in Winslow, ME, to help pets manage pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing.
What is Pet Laser Therapy?
Pet laser therapy uses a focused beam of light to target cells in affected tissues, stimulating cellular activity that promotes healing. This process, known as photobiomodulation, encourages the release of endorphins and increases blood flow to the treatment area, helping to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. This therapeutic approach is painless and safe, making it suitable for a wide range of conditions without the need for sedation or anesthesia.
At Garland Road Small Animal Hospital, we use the Companion Therapy Laser to ensure the best results for our patients. This technology is trusted for its precision and effectiveness, helping pets achieve relief from a variety of conditions with minimal risk.
Benefits of Pet Laser Therapy
Laser therapy offers numerous benefits for pets experiencing pain, injury, or chronic health issues. Here’s how laser therapy can enhance your pet’s recovery and comfort:
-
Pain Relief: Laser therapy helps relieve pain by stimulating natural pain-relieving processes in the body. This makes it a valuable option for pets dealing with chronic discomfort or recovering from surgery.
-
Reduced Inflammation and Swelling: The laser’s energy promotes blood flow and cellular repair, which reduces inflammation and swelling in targeted areas. This makes it effective for both acute injuries and long-term conditions.
-
Enhanced Healing: By accelerating cellular repair, laser therapy can speed up healing for wounds, post-surgical incisions, and injuries. This leads to quicker recovery times and better overall outcomes for your pet.
-
Non-Invasive and Stress-Free: Laser therapy sessions are non-invasive and painless, so pets typically remain calm and comfortable during treatment. Most sessions last only a few minutes, making it a stress-free option for both pets and owners.
