TAKE AWAY THEIR PAIN WITHOUT THE HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS

Low level laser therapy has been proven to promote bone repair, wound healing, reduction of inflammation and tendon/ligament repair. Laser therapy has been shown to stimulate osteoblast, fibroblast, stem cells, skin tissue, nervous tissue, immune cells and a wide assortment of other tissue structures and cells. Targeting these cells can promote the release of important molecules that support increased blood flow, collagen synthesis, cell recruitment, mineralization, skin cell replication, nerve tissue regeneration, reduction of scar tissue and tissue repair. The Laser works by influencing the energy production of a cells (ATP), which is necessary to drive reactions to produce the outcomes mentioned above. Most non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) attempt to suppress the mechanism responsible for producing a key immunologic molecule that promotes an inflammatory response and can further damage tissue and impede the rate of healing. Although NSAIDS have been used for many years and their effectiveness is well documented, there are many patients in which they may be contraindicated or simply pet owners may wish for an alternative. The same mechanism these medications attempt to suppress, laser therapy has been proven to do the same but on a local level and more importantly bypassing the digestive system.
