What is Cold Laser Therapy and How Can it Help my Pet?
Cold laser therapy uses a low-intensity laser or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate and enhance cell function, which helps reduce inflammation, improving the healing process and reducing pain.
Laser therapy has been shown to help cats and dogs in alleviating muscle and joint pain from injuries, arthritis or underlying conditions, even reducing muscle spasms, as well as speeding up the healing process after surgery.
At Monte Vista Small Animal Hospital, we often offer cold-laser therapy to patients recovering from orthopedic surgery as part of our rehabilitation package.
