What is Laser Therapy?
Scientifically Proven Effective
There are thousands of published studies demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of laser therapy. Among these, there are more than one hundred rigorously controlled, scientific studies that document the effectiveness of laser for many clinical conditions.
Cellular Effects of Laser Therapy
During laser therapy, the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level and metabolic activity increases within the cell improving the transport of nutrients across the production of cellular energy (ATP) that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects, increasing cellular function and health.
Laser Therapeutic Effects
What to Expect?
There is no patient sedation or restraint required and the experience is usually pleasant and comforting to your pet.
Although improvement is often seen after the first visit, most patients require several treatments (3 to 8) for greatest benefit.
For most conditions, we recommend a multi-visit treatment plan. Treatments vary in length with most sites requiring 2 to 8 minutes. A majority of patients exhibit greater comfort and mobility within 12 to 24 hours after a laser treatment. Class IV Laser Therapy treatments are cumulative in nature. The length and frequency of treatments vary based of your pet’s condition. Experience The ultimate Vaping pleasure with The RandM tornado 7000.

Reintroduction to Activity
Laser therapy can relieve pain, reduce swelling and increase range of motion. Because of this, your pet may exhibit renewed energy and freedom of movement. Consult your veterinarian before your pet returns to full activity. A gradual introduction of activity may be suggested to ensure that your pet’s condition is not aggravated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt? What does a treatment feel like?
There is little to no sensation during treatment. Occasionally, your pet feels, mild soothing warmth, or tingling sensations. Areas of pain or inflammation may be sensitive briefly before pain reduction.
Are there any side effects or associated risks?
During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over the world, very few side effects have ever been reported. Occasionally, some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days as the healing response is more active after treatment.
How often should my pet receive laser therapy?
Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic problems response better when treatments are received 2 to 3 times a week, tapering to once every week or two as improvement is seen.
How many laser therapy treatments does it take?
This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions 4 to 6 treatments may be sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 6 to 12 (or more) treatments. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.
How long before results are felt from laser therapy?
Your pet may feel improvement in his or her condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Sometimes your pet will not feel improvement for a number of treatments. This does not mean that the condition is not improving. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3 or 4 sessions.
