Laser Therapy for Cats and Dogs

Pets of every age and background can benefit from laser therapy. This all-natural option can provide relief from a variety of different conditions and symptoms . At Strohbehn Veterinary Clinic, we use laser therapy to give some of the following benefits for our cat and dog patients:

• Speeding Up Healing Time
• Reducing Inflammation
• Pain Relief
• Generating New Tissue
• Promoting Blood Flow

These benefits can be used on a variety of different injuries, conditions, and causes of chronic or acute pain. If your pet is in pain for any reason, we highly recommend a consultation with our in-house laser therapy vet. Below are some of the most common conditions that our team uses laser therapy to treat:

Gingivitis – This painful gum condition causes swelling and pain that may respond to cold laser therapy
Degenerative Disc Disease – Cold laser therapy may help delay the progression of this age-related disease, which leads to disc loss that causes pain and irritation
Neck and Back Pain – Pain relief is often an immediate side effect of cold laser therapy, especially pain related to irritated discs
Muscle Strains and Sprains – Whether your pet’s tissue injury was acute or chronic, cold laser therapy can promote blood flow and reduce swelling to speed up the regrowth of new tissue
Osteoarthritis – As joints lose cartilage and irritation increases, joint pain and mobility problems are common, but arthritis pain can be reduced with cold laser therapy
Surgery Recovery – Our laser wand helps us stimulate tissue and promote the healing of incision sites
