Our East Islip Veterinarian Team Offers Pet Laser Therapy
Pet laser therapy is one of the most exciting advances in veterinary medicine that is helping thousands of cats, dogs, and other animals maximize their recovery from illness and injury. At All Friends Veterinary Hospital, our East Islip veterinarian team is proud to offer this state-of-the-art pain management solution for animals of all breeds and sizes.
What Is Pet Laser Therapy?
In the human healthcare world, laser therapy has been used for several decades as a safe, effective, and drug-free pain relief strategy for people suffering from a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. In more recent years, veterinarians have been bringing this incredible technology to help provide pain management for their animal patients, as well.
Here's how it works: during a laser therapy session, our East Islip veterinarian will direct a non-thermal laser beam of light at the targeted treatment area on your pet's body. This laser beam is emitted from a handheld wand-like device. When the photons from the laser beam come in contact with your animal's tissues (including muscle, ligament, tendon, and bone), they trigger healing responses including cellular repair and regeneration, anti-inflammation, reduced pain, and increased cellular metabolism (which speeds healing).
To help keep your pet calm and still, we may recommend that your pet is lightly sedated during a laser therapy session. We may also ask that your pet wears protective eyewear to ensure that its eyes remain safe, too. Sessions typically last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, and you can expect to start seeing improvements in your pet's health within a few sessions.
