If you're a pet owner living near Brightwaters, Bay Shore, East Islip, or Oakdale, NY, then keep reading to learn more about this exciting technique and how it could help your animal in a time of need.
What is Laser Therapy?
If your pet is struggling with acute, chronic, and/or post-surgical pain, then laser therapy may be the perfect addition to its pain management plan. This scientifically-vetted therapy (also used in humans) uses light emitted from a specialized device to induce healing biological effects in the tissue at which the light beam is targeted. The laser causes no discomfort to your animal and positive results can be seen in as little as a few treatment sessions.
Specifically, our Companion laser therapy has been shown to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Reduce pain
- Increase local circulation and blood flow
- Stimulate cellular repair and metabolism
- Reduce scar tissue formation
Combined, these beneficial effects can accelerate healing in your pet from any number of physical conditions, including muscle strains, ligament sprains, nerve damage, post-operative pain, bone fractures, hip dysplasia, osteoarthritis, and more. This is a great complement to more traditional pain management strategies including prescription pain medication, or even as a stand-alone treatment for pets who may not be able to tolerate pain drugs.
In our eyes, anything that helps your pet feel better faster is worth exploring! That's why our East Islip vet team is proud to be one of the only veterinary clinics in the area providing this innovative service.
