Laser Therapy
Laser therapy has proved to be an extremely effective, non-invasive tool for managing inflammation from degenerative diseases, surgery, and arthritis as well as other conditions.
At Omaha Vets Group, we have a laser on-site that works by encouraging cell regeneration and increasing blood flow to the targeted area, which then stimulates the release of pain-relieving hormones. Laser therapy can also be used with other treatment plans recommended by your veterinarian.
The process generally takes between 5-10 minutes, has no side effects, and continues to relieve pain and fight inflammation for up to 24 hours following the session.
Benefits of Laser Therapy for Cats & Dogs
Laser therapy offers numerous benefits for pets, including:
- Pain Relief: Laser therapy reduces inflammation and provides immediate pain relief.
- Reduced Inflammation: Laser therapy helps decrease swelling and inflammation in muscles and joints, improving mobility and comfort.
- Accelerated Healing: Laser therapy enhances cellular activity and boosts circulation, which accelerates the healing process for wounds, injuries, and post-surgical recovery.
- Improved Mobility: Pets with arthritis or joint issues experience increased joint flexibility and reduced stiffness, leading to better overall mobility.
- Stress-Free Treatment: Laser therapy is painless and typically well-tolerated by pets, with most experiencing a soothing and relaxing sensation during the treatment.
- Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: By managing pain and inflammation effectively, laser therapy can reduce or even eliminate the need for long-term medication, minimizing potential side effects.
- Quick and Convenient: Treatments are typically quick, often lasting only a few minutes, making it a convenient option for both pets and their owners.
