Laser therapy provides a sterile, pain-free, surgery- free, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions, numerous dermatological problems, and pain.

Whether your pet is rehabilitating from trauma or injury, healing from wounds, or simply aging, your companion will benefit from this revolutionary new approach to Veterinary Medicine.

Laser therapy is the only course of treatment that actually stimulates the body to heal from within. Non-thermal photons of light are administered to the body and absorbed by the injured cells. The cells are then stimulated and respond with a higher rate of metabolism. This results in increased circulation from the body, an anti-inflammatory reaction, relief from pain and an acceleration of the healing process. We can help restore your pet’s mobility and improve the quality of his or her life. Find out if laser therapy is right for your pet. Contact Dr. Jyl.

What to expect during a Laser Therapy treatment session for your companion?

Simply put, it provides relief.

As the laser is administered, your pet will relax and enjoy the almost immediate relief of pain will allow your pet to be comfortable and any anxiety that your pet initially experienced will dissipate. Angry feline companions will start to purr and most of our canine companions will actually fall asleep during their therapy session.  Frequently, after therapy, the quote is heard: “Our young animal is back” or “she acts like a puppy again.” – Pain relief is provided in just a few minutes of therapy and that alone improves the quality of life for your best friend.

Practical Application

Veterinary LASER therapy can be used to stimulate and improve the healing of open wounds, ulcers and injuries to soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, muscles and periosteum. It is often used to help treat back problems and back injuries, in conjunction with chiropractic manipulation and acupuncture.

Indications: back injury, ligament injury, tendon injury, muscle injury, joint injury, arthritis, disc disease, paralysis, wounds, non-healing wounds, ulcers, lick granuloma, as part of a coordinated integrative treatment program.

The ideal wavelength varies according to the tissue, the region of the body and even between different patients.

The frequency or pulse which is applied must also be suited to the patient and to the treatment context. We use energy-testing to ascertain the optimum frequency and wavelength for each patient. LASER may also be used to stimulate acupuncture points (Acupuncture-by-LASER). The same frequency and wavelength principles apply.
