Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a treatment that uses (laser) light. The photons in the laser light are absorbed by the body’s tissues, where they release their energy into the surrounding area. This results in pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and healing effects.
Laser therapy is used with great success in the treatment of numerous acute and chronic conditions, such as:

• Skin conditions: hot spots, interdigital eczema, lick granulomas, (delayed) wound healing, fistulas, lip fold eczema
• Orthopedic conditions: osteoarthritis, back pain, tendonitis
• Neurological problems: loss of nerve function, inoperable herniated disc
• Pain Management: Painful Wounds, Hernia
• Chronic gum inflammation
• Etc., etc.

We also frequently use laser therapy after surgery to prevent pain and swelling at the incision site.
Laser therapy consists of one or more sessions. Anesthesia is not necessary because the treatment is painless and well tolerated by the animals. During treatments involving the head, the animal (as well as the practitioner and owner) wears protective eyewear.
