Laser Therapy to Reduce Pain and Support Recovery
At Evergreen Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to offer laser therapy as a non-invasive treatment that reduces pain, decreases inflammation, and promotes faster healing.
It can play an important role in recovery from surgery, injuries or wounds, or in managing chronic conditions like arthritis.
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cells and increase circulation to targeted tissues. This improved blood flow delivers oxygen and healing nutrients directly to the affected area, helping the body repair itself more effectively.
Laser therapy is:
- Non-invasive
- Drug-free
- Painless
- Safe for pets
Many pets find relief through laser therapy treatments!
How Laser Therapy Helps
Laser therapy works at the cellular level to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Decrease pain
- Improve circulation
- Accelerate tissue repair
- Support nerve function
- Enhance mobility
Because it stimulates the body’s natural healing response, laser therapy can complement other treatments.
Is Laser Therapy Right for My Pet?
Laser therapy can be used for both sudden injuries and chronic conditions, including:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Back and neck pain
- Soft tissue injuries
- Post-surgical healing
- Wound care
- Skin inflammation
- Dental procedure recovery
- Mobility support associated with injury or aging
Our team evaluates your pet to determine when laser therapy may be beneficial. It can be an important part of a senior pet’s comprehensive pain management plan that supports long-term comfort and quality of life.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatments are quick and well tolerated, and most sessions last only a few minutes.
Your pet can relax comfortably while a handheld laser device is applied to the affected area.
Depending on your pet’s condition, we may recommend:
- A short series of treatments for acute injuries
- Ongoing maintenance sessions for chronic conditions
- Laser therapy following surgery to support recovery
