Laser Therapy: Gentle Healing for Pain Relief and Recovery

Laser therapy provides a comfortable, non-invasive option for pets experiencing pain or delayed healing. At Animal Care Clinic of Monadnock, this treatment is used to help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support the body's natural healing process. It can benefit pets recovering from surgery as well as those living with chronic pain or mobility issues.

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy uses therapeutic light energy to stimulate tissue repair at the cellular level. This process, known as photobiomodulation, encourages healing, improves blood flow, and helps decrease inflammation without surgery or medication.

Treatments are gentle, painless, and well tolerated by most dogs and cats.

What Conditions Can It Help?

Laser therapy may be recommended for:

· Arthritis and joint discomfort

· Surgical incision healing

· Neck and back conditions

· Wounds and certain skin conditions

· Ear inflammation or lick granulomas

· Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries

Your veterinarian will determine whether laser therapy is an appropriate option based on your pet's condition and overall health.

What to Expect During a Session

Most treatment sessions last about 10–20 minutes and require no recovery time.

During treatment:

· A handheld therapeutic laser is applied to the affected area.

· Most pets remain calm and experience only mild warmth.

· Sedation is not required, and pets can return to normal activity afterward.

Some pets show improvement after only a few sessions, while others benefit from a series of treatments depending on their diagnosis.

Is It Safe?

Laser therapy is widely used in veterinary medicine and is considered a safe treatment when performed by trained professionals. It can often be incorporated into a broader pain management or rehabilitation plan alongside medications or surgical care when appropriate.

Whether your pet is recovering from surgery or coping with a chronic orthopedic condition, laser therapy may help improve comfort, mobility, and healing. Our veterinary team will develop a treatment plan based on your pet's individual needs and recovery goals.
