What is Vet Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy uses low-intensity laser or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help relieve pain, stimulate and enhance cell function, and improve healing.
Therapeutic lasers work by targeting single wavelengths of light that are shown to improve the symptoms of arthritis and other painful conditions significantly.
Veterinary laser therapy sessions are short, aren’t scary or painful for your pet, and can help your dog or cat to begin feeling better – all great advantages for your pets!
