Pet Laser Therapy
A non-invasive holistic treatment
Laser therapy is a wonderful tool that was first used in human medicine and has moved into the realm of veterinary medicine relatively recently. At Happy Tails Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to be on the cutting edge of veterinary technology, offering laser therapy services for our patients. Our hospital uses the Summus Medical Laser, which non-invasively eases pain and heals damaged tissues. This service is primarily for pain control, reducing swelling, and stimulating healing, and is commonly recommended for patients who suffer from arthritis. It also has other treatment modalities in a number of disease processes.
What is Laser Therapy Used For?
In addition to treating arthritis, laser therapy can also help with treating:
- Skin wounds
- Ear infections
- Dental pain (such as after pulling a tooth)
- Surgical incisions post-op
- Skin infections and rashes
- Lick granulomas
- And more
How Pet Laser Therapy Works
Pet laser therapy uses concentrated cold laser light which focuses on the specific area of the body that is injured or affected. The laser light stimulates the cells, promoting healing and causing soothing relief. We evaluate your pet to develop a plan of action for treating their condition, often prescribing a series of visits to ensure that laser therapy is as effective as possible in a number of medical conditions. After all, your pet’s comfort and happiness is our primary concern! We want to keep those happy tails wagging.
If you think laser therapy could improve your pet's quality of life, give us a call at (732) 268-8180 to schedule a consultation.
