Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is a safe, effective, non-invasive, and drug-free treatment for injuries, surgical wounds, skin infections, pain, and chronic conditions like arthritis. Laser therapy is safe in all animals and can used with acupuncture for enhanced results. Laser acupuncture can even be used in place of traditional acupuncture needles for animals.

The goal of laser therapy is to deliver light energy, in the form of photons, to damaged cells. Research has shown that the photons, absorbed by the cells through laser therapy, stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate the production of energy (ATP). This is called photobiomodulation. The biochemical increase in cell energy is used to help diseased cells regenerate and heal. This means less pain and inflammation, and faster healing.
