What is Veterinary Laser Therapy?
Veterinary laser therapy is a state-of-the-art treatment that uses light waves to cause photobiomodulation or the alternation of cellular and tissue physiology. Through laser therapy, your pet's cells are activated to promote growth and repair. The minimally invasive nature of our Surrey vet laser therapy makes it an ideal option if you're worried about your pet undergoing traditional surgery, especially if it's an older pet.
Some of the benefits of veterinary laser therapy include the following:
- Releasing endorphins
- Increasing blood flow
- Encouraging muscle relaxation
- Decreasing inflammation
- Improving healing times
Our Veterinary Laser Therapy Services
During your initial appointment, our veterinary team will sit down with you to outline how our Surrey vet laser therapy can help alleviate your pet's pain and help them recover. The number of laser therapy treatments your pet may need depends on the nature of their health problem. Although some health concerns can be addressed with one or two treatments, some may require as much as four or five. Regardless of how many sessions your pet needs, our friendly and supportive staff is here to make your pet's experience as comfortable and seamless as possible.
Some of the applications of our veterinary laser therapy include:
- Arthritis: Arthritis is classified as the swelling or tenderness of one or more of your pet's joints. Arthritis can be especially debilitating in quadrupedal pets, as even one arthritic limb can place additional stress on their remaining limbs. Not only can arthritis impair your pet's mobility but cause discomfort that prevents it from living its life to the fullest. Through laser therapy, we can help reduce pain and inflammation while preventing the inconvenience of morning stiffness.
- Hip Dysplasia: Hip dysplasia is a medical term for when your pet's hip socket doesn't fully cover the ball portion of their thighbone. When left untreated, hip dysplasia can damage the cartilage lining your pet's joint and lead to hip labral tears. Laser therapy reduces your pet's pain by quieting nerve cells and lowering inflammation around their hip sockets.
- Skin Conditions: If your pet is suffering from either one or numerous skin conditions, laser therapy may be an ideal treatment choice. Through laser therapy, we can help reduce swelling, lessen pain, and lower the chance of infection. Some of the skin conditions we regularly treat with veterinary laser therapy include atopic dermatitis and subcutaneous cysts.
- Chronic Inflammation: One of the most common health problems affecting older pets is chronic inflammation. Not only can chronic inflammation affect multiple areas of your pet's body, but it can prove difficult to treat. Laser therapy can help reduce inflammation and pain, especially in problematic areas like your pet's neck and lower back.
