Laser Therapy

Does your four-legged family member suffer from chronic pain? Has a recent surgery or injury slowed your normally active companion down?

Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment option that’s designed to trigger the body’s natural healing and pain control response. Through this innovative technology, your best friend can enjoy decreased pain, enhanced mobility and shorter recovery periods. It can be used as an independent therapy or as a complement to other treatment methods. 

Benefits of Laser Therapy

• Anti-Pain – blocks pain by decreasing nerve sensitivity
• Accelerates tissue repair, cell growth and nerve function
• Improves circulation

Treatment Protocol
