PET Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is an innovative technology used to treat acute and chronic injuries. This non-invasive treatment stimulates cell regeneration by increasing blood flow to the targeted area, accelerating the healing process.
How Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy focuses red and infrared light on tissue at and below the surface of the skin. The light energizes the cells, producing a structural protein called collagen, which is used to repair tissue. Lasers continue healing by supporting vascular dilation and synthesis, increasing blood circulation to the affected region. The stimulation also releases the body’s pain-relieving hormones.
The process generally takes between 5-10 minutes, with most patients seeing positive effects after 3-5 uses. The treatment continues to relieve pain and fight inflammation for up to 24 hours following the session.
Our trained medical staff ensures that your pet’s therapy session is as calm and relaxing as possible.
Conditions improved with laser therapy

- Arthritis and degenerative joint disease
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Neuromuscular disease
- Skin inflammation
- Inflammation and swelling associated with ear infections
Laser therapy is normally combined with other types of veterinary medicine, including pharmaceutical regimens and alternative treatments. The broad biochemical benefits and lack of adverse side effects have made laser therapy the preferred post-operative rehab method in veterinary medicine.
