What is therapeutic laser treatment and how does it help your pet?
Low level laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy, can help treat pain in pets by:
Reducing inflammation:
Laser therapy uses a focused beam of light to widen blood vessels, which reduces inflammation.
Reducing swelling:
The lymphatic draining system is activated, which helps drain excess fluid from the area.
Stimulating nerve cells:
Nerve cells are stimulated to block pain signals from reaching the brain, which lowers nerve sensitivity.
Releasing endorphins:
Laser therapy stimulates the production of endorphins, which counteract pain.
Increasing blood flow:
Laser therapy increases blood flow to the area, which brings in oxygen and cells that help with healing.
Relaxing muscles:
Laser therapy helps muscles relax.
Accelerating healing:
Laser therapy helps speed up the body's natural healing process.
Laser therapy is generally considered safe and effective for pets.
It can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including tissue injuries, arthritis, and diseases.
