How does laser therapy work?

During laser therapy, the veterinarian aims light at different frequencies at a certain area of the body. The light can penetrate deep below the surface where it reaches the cellular level. As the light is absorbed, it causes changes in the cells which results in many positive effects such as reducing inflammation, decreasing pain, renewing energy, and encouraging the healing process. To ensure your pet is protected, we provide them with safety glasses to protect their eyes from the bright light. No sedation or anesthesia is necessary as most pets find the treatment soothing.
