LASER THERAPY – A NEW SOLUTION FOR HEALING

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUR PET – CLASS IV MLS LASER

We are passionate about providing exceptional animal rehabilitation services to the veterinary industry and pet owners.

LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation – the
use of specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Light energy enters the damaged cells and stimulates
inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the
damaged cells. This is a non-invasive, drug and pain free treatment.

WHAT IS MLS LASER? MLS is a Class IV laser (meaning it is strong, so our
treatment duration is shorter to obtain a therapeutic dose). Safety precautions
are undertaken (including safety goggles and doggles).

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TREATMENT? Average treatment is 8 mins included
in your Physiotherapy session or combined in package with underwater treadmill.
Acute conditions: resolved in a few treatments. Chronic conditions: multiple
treatments may be required over several weeks. Average course 7-10 treatments

• Preliminary evaluation of the effects of photobiomodulation therapy and physical rehabilitation on early postoperative recovery of dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy for treatment of thoracolumbar intervertebral disk disease

We provide packages to combine more regular use of the Laser therapy with underwater treadmill sessions. In the early stages of healing this may be recommended x1-2/week to maximise healing and recovery. THIS IS USED FOR EVERY UWT SESSION IN ACUTE OR MAINTENANCE SESSIONS AND INCLUDED IN YOUR PAYMENT.
