Laser Therapy

Is your normally active pet suffering from chronic pain? Has a recent surgery or injury slowed them down?

Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment methodology that uses a laser to stimulate the body’s natural healing and pain control response. The therapeutic laser can be used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with other treatment methods to decrease pain, improve mobility, and shorten recovery times.

Laser Therapy Benefits
