Cold Laser Therapy for Pets
At Absecon Veterinary Hospital, we offer cold laser therapy (also called therapeutic laser therapy) as a safe, non-invasive treatment to help reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate healing. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or healing from an injury, laser therapy can provide effective relief while improving overall comfort and mobility.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cells and promote healing at the tissue level. This process, known as photobiomodulation, increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and encourages the body's natural repair processes.
The treatment is painless, requires no sedation, and is well tolerated by both dogs and cats. Many pets find laser sessions relaxing, and some even nap during treatment.
