- Chronic ear infections
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Allergies and lick granulomas
- Degenerative joint disease and arthritis
- Hip dysplasia
Laser therapy also increases healing speed for wounds and surgical sites, making it a helpful complement to surgical procedures and post-operative recovery. This is Chloe, getting ready for her laser therapy treatment. She’s one of many patients we see for arthritis, and we’re able to manage arthritic pain through a combination of medications, supplements, weight management, and laser therapy.
Because laser therapy is non-invasive and generally well tolerated, it’s often an excellent option for senior pets or pets managing chronic pain who may not be candidates for more aggressive interventions. Many pet owners notice improved mobility and comfort after just a few sessions, and treatment plans are tailored to your pet’s specific condition and response.
If your pet is dealing with chronic pain, arthritis, or a slow-healing wound, call (505) 326-2205 to find out if laser therapy could help.
