Pet Laser Therapy

Is cold laser therapy really as effective as it is claimed to be? At Crossroads Pet Hospital, we have seen just how much laser therapy has helped our patients, which is why we are proud to offer it for healing and pain control. With laser therapy, we can more easily treat many acute and chronic conditions that can be uncomfortable, slow to heal, and likely to limit your pet’s quality of life.

What We Can Treat with Our Therapeutic Laser

Laser therapy can be integrated into treatment plans for a variety of conditions, including:

Skin injuries
Injuries to the tendons, muscles, or ligaments
Lick granulomas
Injuries to the nervous system
Trigger points
Arthritis
Intervertebral and cervical disc disease
Post-operative incisions
...and more

How the Laser Works

Laser therapy works well with other forms of treatment, such as medication and physical therapy, to relieve pain and increase healing.

To provide treatment, the laser device emits measured pulses of infrared light, which penetrate through the skin and deep into the muscle tissue. The light energy is absorbed into the cells that make up this tissue, causing chemical and physical changes that regenerate cells and repair damaged ones.

The Benefits of Laser Surgery

Laser therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and painless with no side effects. It provides several major benefits for pets struggling daily with chronic pain, surgery recovery, or acute injury:

Decreases inflammation and swelling
Increases blood circulation to the affected area and throughout the entire body
Accelerates healing of bruised and damaged tissue
Reduces pain
Increases mobility in patients with stiff, achy joints
