Laser Therapy for Pets

Depend on Us for Therapeutic Laser Services

Hot lasers in the medical world are used for surgical precision while cold lasers are used for healing precision. At Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital, our in-house laser produces these cold beams. The laser sends photons, or packets of light energy, deep into tissue without damaging it. This light energy then inspires production of ATP in the cell. ATP is the fuel, or energy, cells need for repair and rejuvenation. Increased ATP production leads to healthier cells and tissues.

Benefits of the therapeutic laser include:

• Rapid cell growth: Damaged cells repair themselves at a much slower rate than healthy ones. The laser will help speed the process.
  
• Faster wound healing: The laser stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue.
  
• Increased metabolic activity: Helps the body increase output of specific enzymes, greater oxygen to blood cells and more effective immune response.
  
• Reduced fibrous tissue formation: The laser reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or following surgery.
  
• Anti-inflammatory: The laser reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give improved mobility and comfort.
  
• Increased heart function: The laser stimulates blood circulation, to allow the affected tissue to function at its best.
  
• Stimulated nerve function: Slow recovery of nerve function in numb limbs. The laser will increase the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life.
