Cold Laser Therapy

What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, drug free, surgery free, and pain free treatment. Also called low-level laser therapy, cold laser therapy uses beams of light to stimulate cell regeneration and increase blood circulation. Following treatment, pets experience less pain and swelling of the affected area, allowing for an increase in range of motion, mobility, and healing.

What to Expect

Cold laser therapy sessions last between 5-20 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Some conditions may only require a single session, while others benefit from multiple treatments for the best results. Initially, treatments may be scheduled a few times a week, gradually tapering off as improvement is observed.

While owners are not required to be present for treatment, they are welcome to stay if they wish to provide comfort to their pet. There are no known side effects associated with cold laser therapy when used as directed.
