Cold laser therapy is a new approach to pain management and wound healing. At Kansas City’s Eagle Animal Hospital & Pet Resort, cold laser procedures use the energy from a Class IV therapeutic laser to treat the skin’s surface. The beam of light from the laser penetrates tissues to ease discomfort after orthopedic surgery or heal injuries to soft tissues.
Low Risk, Non-invasive Procedure
Unlike other procedures, cold laser therapy has no known side effects. Cold laser treatments are non-invasive and surgery-free, and veterinarians do not have to sedate your pet for cold laser treatment. Treatment sessions should be comforting and pleasant for pets. Since the procedure increases blood circulation and stimulates cell regeneration, it should restore function to the injured area.
Creates an Optimal Healing Environment
Laser therapy restores the normal function of your pet’s injured areas by speeding up the natural healing process of their bodies. The laser beam reduces muscle spasms, inflammation, swelling, pain, and stiffness. At the same time, it boosts your pet’s immune system to fend off infection, accelerates cell regeneration and tissue repair, and improves circulation and nerve function.
Aids Recovery
Aside from treating an injury, cold laser surgery also improves recovery after an operation. If your pet had to visit an animal clinic for a minor operation, cold laser surgery could help by stimulating tissue regeneration to accelerate healing and reduce pain. Cold laser treatments focus on cell growth and tissue repair on the injured area, allowing your pet’s overall condition to see improvements quickly.
Ideal for Many Types of Injuries
Cold laser treatments provide relief for various conditions like:
- Injuries to joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- Arthritis
- Open wounds and hot spots
- Back pain
- Ear infections
