Breakthrough Technology for Better Healing
At Jermantown Animal Hospital, we offer therapeutic laser treatments that harness the healing power of light to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate recovery. This non-invasive, drug-free technology stimulates cellular regeneration and increases circulation to injured tissues. Pet laser therapy provides effective relief for acute injuries, chronic conditions, and post-surgical healing without side effects or discomfort.
Laser therapy has long been used in human medicine, and Jermantown Animal Hospital is pleased to offer this safe and highly beneficial pet laser therapy to our patients! This painless, drug-free, non-invasive technology treats acute and chronic injuries, accelerates the healing process after surgery, and alleviates joint pain. It works by stimulating cell regeneration, increasing blood flow to the targeted area, and releasing the body’s own pain-relieving endorphins and hormones.
The (Non) Cutting Edge of Care
The process generally takes about 15 minutes per session. Pet laser therapy can be used as a one-time treatment or as part of a series, depending on the patient and the condition. The treatment continues to relieve pain and fight inflammation for up to 24 hours following the session. Not only is the process not painful, but many patients find it very soothing. Some pets get very relaxed during their sessions, and others even fall asleep!
Laser therapy is typically combined with other types of veterinary care, including pharmaceutical regimens and other treatments. The broad biochemical benefits and lack of adverse side effects have made laser therapy a go-to for both post-operative rehab in veterinary medicine and an excellent choice for pets who can’t take traditional pain medications (such as NSAIDs) due to health concerns.
Our veterinary team will develop a customized treatment plan for your pet, determining the optimal frequency, intensity, and duration of therapy sessions based on your pet’s specific condition and needs. Many pets experience immediate relief after just one session, while those with chronic conditions benefit from regular maintenance treatments.
If you’re wondering if laser therapy could benefit your pet, the answer is likely yes! We’ve had some amazing success stories, and we’re incredibly excited to offer this innovative service to our patients.
