Cold-Laser Therapy.
Stimulate healing with low-levels of light
What is Cold-Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment option that has been proven to work at the cellular level to reduce pain and inflammation, facilitate faster healing, and improve joint health.
Conditions that benefit from cold-laser therapy:
Wounds and abrasions
Muscle spasms, strains and sprains
Ligament and tendon injuries
Hematomas and gross edema
Osteoarthritis
Acute and chronic inflammation
Acute and chronic pain
Myofascial trigger points and pain points
Non-union and small-bone fractures
Neuralgia and neuritis
Muscle contractures/scar tissue
Generalized pain
Physiological effects of cold laser therapy:
Facilitates faster healing by increasing cellular proliferation (the rate at which cells reproduce)
Reduces pain by stimulating endorphin receptors (the body’s natural “pain killer” hormone)
Reduces inflammation by stimulating the lymphatic system
Increases blood flow by means of vasodilation and angiogenesis.
Improves the tensile strength of tissues by increasing myofibroblast activity
Improves joint health by stimulating chondrocytes (the cells that produce cartilage)
Increases collagen synthesis
Enhances immune cell activity
Common Questions.
Is cold laser therapy actually cold?
Contrary to the name, cold laser therapy does not actually feel cold. This modality does not work through thermal effects, rather it works through a mechanism known as photobiomodulation.
What will my pet feel?
During sessions your pet typically will not feel anything at the time but will often feel comfort following the treatment.
