Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a cutting-edge technology that is now being used for both humans and pets alike. We all want our dogs and cats to live pain-free and have pain management that doesn’t involve surgery or medications. Laser therapy is a non-invasive, non-painful way to promote natural healing in cats and dogs. At Animal Health Care Center in Madison, Alabama, our vet team makes it our mission to provide the best pain relief treatment to your furry loved ones. Whether it’s due to acute pain such as recovery from an injury, chronic pain resulting from a condition like arthritis, or pain from an illness, laser therapy might be the best choice for your pet.

What Is Laser Therapy?

There are many types of lasers used in the medical industry today, ranging from Class I to Class IV lasers. Laser therapy uses Class III lasers, which emit photons into the muscle tissue and target specific parts of the mitochondria inside our cells. The photons then encourage the cell to produce ATP—the protein muscles use to rebuild themselves—in addition to releasing endorphins and promoting blood flow.

Does Laser Therapy Hurt My Pet?

Not at all! Not only is laser therapy completely painless, but the warm laser actually provides a soothing effect similar to a massage. Treatments aren’t long either, ranging from three to twenty minutes. The length of a laser therapy session will depend on the condition being treated.

How Can Your Vet Clinic in Madison Help My Pet?

Our team of veterinarians will assess your pet and see if they are a good fit for laser therapy. Some dogs and cats, such as those with certain cancers or who are pregnant, should not undergo laser therapy.

However, laser therapy is a great treatment option if your pet has:

  • Arthritis
  • Surgical wounds
  • Low metabolism
  • Trauma to any part of its body
  • Poor nerve function
  • Painful trigger points 

These can all be treated with the help of laser therapy. First, our team will conduct imaging tests, such as x-rays, to see what underlying conditions need to be treated. Your pet will undergo physical examinations to determine if the pain your pet is feeling is musculoskeletal in nature and if it can be treated with laser therapy.
