Laser therapy is a method of treatment used to hasten recovery for many ailments that affect your pets. Gentle Care Animal Hospital now offers laser therapy, an innovative, painless, drug-free treatment that reduces pain and promotes healing for pets that have chronic wounds, arthritis, post-surgery pain, muscle strains, burns, hotspots, snake bites, and more.
Laser therapy uses light energy to create an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. It can also accelerate tissue repair and cell growth, improve circulation and nerve function, reduce scar tissue formation, and help the immune system fend off infection. Laser therapy causes no adverse effects on healthy cells, it helps the injured area heal, restores function, and relieves pain, allowing your pet to quickly return to normal activities.
Pain management is another excellent application of our therapy laser. Instead of treating conditions such as osteoarthritis with medications, laser therapy is an excellent drug-free alternative that may provide relief without the use of medication.
If you live in Forest, Lynchburg, or other nearby communities, and you think your pet may benefit from laser therapy treatments, please schedule an appointment to have your pet evaluated by one of our knowledgeable veterinarians.
