Cold laser Therapy & pain Management
At Morningside Animal Care Center, we’re excited to offer cold laser therapy as a gentle and effective treatment to help relieve pain, improve healing, and boost cell function in pets. This therapy can provide relief for a range of conditions, including muscle spasms, joint pain, and arthritis, to help your pet feel more comfortable and happy!
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy uses a low-intensity laser to target specific areas of the body. The different colors of light penetrate to different depths, with red light helping surface-level issues and other colors, like blue and green, reaching deeper tissues to address more complex conditions.
The Cold Laser Therapy Treatment Process
During a cold laser therapy session, we’ll gently move a handheld laser device back and forth over the affected area on your pet. Most pets find this warm, soothing sensation enjoyable and relaxing! Each session typically lasts around 20 minutes, but the number and frequency of sessions will be customized based on your pet’s unique needs.
