What is laser therapy?
Photobiomodulation is the scientific term for Class IV Laser's effect on tissue. Deep penetrating photons from the laser influence cell chemistry in a variety of beneficial ways. In addition, the infrared wavelengths create a warm sensation in your pet's body at the precise location requiring treatment. Treatment time, power and laser pulse frequency are based on your pet's individual condition and body size.
After surgery, patients receiving laser therapy have less pain. Their recovery is faster, with fewer complications
