Our veterinary team incorporates laser therapy into personalized treatment plans to improve your pet’s quality of life.
What Veterinary Laser Therapy Treats
Laser therapy is a versatile treatment that can benefit pets dealing with many different health issues. By reducing inflammation and encouraging tissue repair, it can play an important role in recovery and long-term management, depending on your pet’s condition.
Some common uses for pet laser therapy include:
- Arthritis
- Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
- Hip dysplasia
- Post-surgical recovery
- Wound care
- Sprains and strains
- Skin inflammation
- And more
This therapy is often used alongside other treatments so that pets can live more comfortably sooner.
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cells at a deeper level. This process, known as photobiomodulation, increases circulation and reduces inflammation.
As the light energy interacts with your pet’s tissues, it can improve blood flow to affected areas, decrease swelling, relieve pain, and support faster tissue repair and regeneration. Because veterinary laser therapy works at the cellular level, this treatment addresses both the symptoms and the underlying healing process.
Laser Therapy Sessions at the Vet
Laser therapy at MyVet is meant to be a calm and comfortable experience for your pet. Treatments are gentle, and most pets tolerate them very well, with many becoming relaxed during their sessions.
During a typical appointment:
- Your pet may wear protective goggles for safety
- A handheld device is applied to the treatment area
- Sessions are non-invasive and usually completed within 5-30 minutes
The number of treatments depends on your pet’s condition. Acute issues, like a post-op surgical incision, may require only one or two sessions, while chronic conditions benefit from ongoing therapy to maintain comfort. Our veterinarian will make recommendations based on your pet’s results.
