Pet Cold Laser Therapy Veterinary Service in West Hartford, CT

Pet Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is a noninvasive procedure that uses light to stimulate blood flow and increase circulation. It is not a surgical laser that slices tissue, but rather a multi-wavelength laser that aids in tissue healing. During acupuncture, the laser could even be used instead of needles. To determine whether your pet is a good candidate for laser therapy, your veterinarian will first assess their pain management needs. Laser therapy is not recommended for pets with cancer because it may aggravate or spread the tumor. The doctor will create a one-of-a-kind treatment plan for you. A series of eight to ten treatments, beginning two to three times per week and gradually tapering down to weekly consultations, provide the most effective pain relief for dogs and cats.
