Pet Laser Therapy in Greenville, NC

How Laser Therapy Treatment Works

Treating your pet with our therapeutic laser involves exposing the affected area to light particles emitted at a specific frequency. These particles penetrate the skin and go deep into the muscle and connective tissue, where they trigger cell activity and help to repair damaged cells. This process is called Photobiomodulation and has proven extremely beneficial to our pets, just like it has for humans undergoing similar treatment.

What Does a Typical Laser Therapy Session Look Like?

Sessions take between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the condition. Your pet will be required to wear protective eye goggles as a precaution (our attending staff member will be wearing them, too!), and will likely be able to lay down for the duration of their session. The hand-held device that emits light particles also generates a subtle warmth, which your pet should find quite comfortable and relaxing.
For acute conditions, one or two sessions are usually enough to treat the problem. For pets with chronic issues, such as arthritis, multiple sessions will be required. Fortunately, the effects of laser therapy are cumulative, so as their treatment progresses, your pet will require fewer and less-frequent treatment sessions.
