Cat and Dog Laser Therapy in Miami, FL
Cutting Edge Surgical Referrals is dedicated to helping pets recover from injury and/or surgery with minimal pain, swelling, and inflammation. We provide cold laser therapy as a means of reducing all three of these conditions and accelerating the overall healing process. Pet laser therapy is a non-invasive and drug-free treatment modality that stimulates cell regeneration and increases blood circulation in dogs and cats of all ages.
How Does the Laser Work?
When we hear the word “laser,” we often think of a bright, concentrated laser beam. With pet laser therapy, there is no visible, concentrated laser beam, but the equipment does emit varying frequencies of infrared light that penetrate through the skin and muscle. This occurs painlessly through a process called photobiomodulation, with the light particles getting absorbed into the tissues and stimulating cell production and repair.
For acute injuries, one laser treatment may be enough to induce the necessary healing and pain relief. Chronic conditions may require multiple treatment sessions to see the best results.
Conditions Laser Therapy Can Help Treat
Pet laser therapy is an excellent treatment option for pets that have had surgery, but it is also beneficial for pets undergoing rehabilitation for an injury or post-surgery. Conditions that can be improved with laser therapy include:
- Surgical incision sites (healing of the skin and relieving inflammation)
- Bone fractures
- Ligament tears
- Osteoarthritis
- Abrasions and puncture wounds
- Chronic joint and back pain
