Pet Laser Surgery & Therapy
At River Ridge Animal Hospital, we are proud to offer advanced laser surgery and therapy services to support your pet’s health and well-being.
Pet Laser Surgery
River Ridge Animal Hospital offers laser surgery as an option for soft tissue surgery. The benefits of laser surgery include decreased pain (as the laser seals the nerve endings), less bleeding (as the laser seals small blood vessels), and less swelling since the laser does not crush, tear or bruise tissue. It can also help decrease the risk of infection and allow quicker return to normal activity due to decreased post-operative discomfort.
What Is a Pet Therapeutic Laser?
Pet therapeutic laser, also known as cold laser therapy, uses light to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. It helps reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and accelerate tissue repair. The treatment is painless and non-invasive, meaning your pet can experience relief without the need for surgery or medications.
Conditions Treated by Pet Therapeutic Laser
Therapeutic laser therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions in pets, including:
- Arthritis: Reducing pain and improving mobility in pets with joint issues.
- Soft tissue injuries: Accelerating healing for sprains, strains, and other injuries.
- Post-surgical recovery: Promoting faster healing after surgeries, such as spay/neuter or orthopedic procedures.
- Chronic pain: Offering long-term pain relief for conditions like hip dysplasia or degenerative joint disease.
Benefits of Pet Therapeutic Laser
Therapeutic laser treatment offers many benefits over more traditional therapies, making it a popular choice for pet owners seeking an effective treatment for pain and inflammation:
Non-Invasive
No surgery or needles are involved, allowing your pet to feel comfortable during treatment.
Pain Relief
The laser helps reduce pain quickly, improving your pet’s quality of life.
Speeds Healing
The therapeutic laser promotes faster tissue repair, shortening recovery times for injuries or surgeries.
When to Consider Pet Therapeutic Laser Treatment
Pet therapeutic laser treatments can be a valuable option when your pet is experiencing chronic pain, inflammation, or slow-healing injuries. Conditions like arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and post-surgical recovery often benefit from this non-invasive therapy. If your pet shows signs of discomfort, decreased mobility, or persistent pain that doesn’t improve with medication alone, laser therapy may offer relief by promoting healing and reducing inflammation. Your veterinarian at River Ridge Animal Hospital can help determine if therapeutic laser is the right option to improve your pet’s quality of life.
