Cold Laser Therapy for Animals
Cold laser therapy is a treatment that involves using low levels of laser light to promote
healing. It is also referred to as low-level laser therapy. This treatment is relatively new
because it has only been around for about 30 years. More veterinarians are choosing to use
cold laser therapy because of the many benefits it offers. Below are some of the ways
animals can benefit from cold laser therapy:
Treat Arthritis
The number of animals being diagnosed with arthritis is increasing. This condition can cause a variety of
unpleasant symptoms, such as pain and swelling in the joints. Cold laser therapy is often used on animals that
suffer from arthritis. It can reduce the inflammation and pain that this condition causes. It can also help loosen
tight muscles.
Treat Musculoskeletal injuries
Animals that have suffered a musculoskeletal injury can benefit from getting cold laser therapy. This treatment
helps promote healing by increasing blood circulation to the injured area. It also helps increase the flow of
nutrients and oxygen to the area. Additionally, low level laser therapy helps increase collagen production.
Collagen production is necessary for successful healing.
Promote Wound Healing
Not only can cold laser therapy help musculoskeletal injuries heal, but it can also help promote wound healing.
Researchers believe that cold laser therapy helps promote wound healing by reducing the enzymes and cellular
chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. Cold laser therapy also helps stimulate the production of enzymes
that promote healing.
Cold laser therapy has been shown to be effective for treating all types of wounds, including surgical wounds,
acute wounds and chronic wounds. One of the many great things about using cold laser therapy to treat wounds
is because it can target areas of the body that other treatments cannot reach. It is also non-invasive and painfree. Furthermore, cold laser therapy does not damage the surrounding tissue.
Promote Relaxation
Cold laser therapy can help animals relax. This treatment helps stimulate endorphin production. Endorphins are
substances that help the body naturally cope with pain and stress. They also help boost mood. That is why
animals typically enjoy this treatment.
Cold laser therapy is often used along with many other treatments. It can help treat a variety of chronic
conditions, including arthritis. It can also help treat musculoskeletal injuries and help wounds heal faster.
Furthermore, cold laser therapy has been shown to be very effective for promoting relaxation.
