Laser Therapy
The biological effects of the Class IV LASER are varied, but the end result from the patient perspective is reduction in pain, swellling and inflammation.
These therapeutic LASERS are popular in humans as well for the reduction of pain without the potential side effects of pharmaceuticals.
Some of the most common indications for Class IV Therapeutic LASER are…
Pain and stiffness from osteoarthritis… hip, back, shoulder and elbow
Pain and stiffness from hip and elbow dysplasia common in our large breed dogs
Inflammation and discomfort associated with intervertebral disc disease (back pain)
Acute injuries such as ligament and tendon strains and sprains
Inflammation associated with severe ear infections and “lick granulomas
Treatment protocols vary based on patient size and type of problem.
Acute injuries typically only require one to two LASER therapy sessions to accelerate healing. Chronic problems such as the pain from hip dysplasia or arthritis typically receive a series of six to twelve treatments over a two-to-three-week period to achieve the best results.
