Benefits of Non-Invasive Laser Therapy
The benefits of non-invasive laser therapy (also known as low level laser therapy or cold laser therapy) have been well-documented in humans. At Mokena Animal Clinic in Mokena IL, we're bringing this technology into our veterinary services as part of our comprehensive pet health and wellness solutions.
What is non-invasive laser therapy?
Non-invasive laser therapy is a safe and effective tool for the treatment and management of many traumatic injuries, wounds, and even some surgical incisions. As the name implies, this treatment is the non-invasive application of light emitted from a special laser. The laser's specific frequency allows the light photons to penetrate into an animal's body, triggering a variety of healing responses within the targeted tissues.
What are the benefits of non-invasive laser therapy?
The main benefit of non-invasive laser therapy is accelerated and improved wound healing and tissue repair. It's often used on animals recovering from traumatic wounds or surgical incisions. Non-invasive laser therapy is thought to promote wound healing and tissue repair by:
- Increasing collagen formation
- Increasing blood flow and stimulating new capillary growth
- Activating the lymphatic drainage system and reducing edema (swelling)
- Decreasing pain by blocking pain-transmitting nerve cells and increasing painkilling neurochemicals
Is non-invasive laser therapy right for my pet?
If your pet has recently sustained a traumatic wound, or has a surgery-related incision, non-invasive laser therapy may be a great choice to help reduce your pet's pain and maximize recovery and healing. As with any animal care service, your Mokena IL veterinarian will discuss any questions you have about non-invasive laser therapy, as well as review any special considerations for your pet.
