Animal Wellness Center of Pontiac Pet Wellness

The doctors at Animal Wellness Center of Pontiac are proud to offer cutting-edge pet laser therapy.

A range of illnesses can be treated with veterinary laser therapy, which is non-invasive, painless, drug- and surgery-free. It can also be used in conjunction with other treatments. Deep-penetrating light is used in laser therapy for pets to encourage a series of chemical processes known as photobiostimulation. Endorphins are released due to this process, which also invites wounded cells to repair more quickly.

Although a pet’s condition usually improves after the first appointment, the frequency and duration of laser therapy will depend on your pet’s condition. Treatment times might vary, but most locations call for 3 to 8 minutes.

A therapeutic laser is the application of light energy to areas of the body to stimulate healing. This light–tissue interaction is called photobiomodulation. In the past, therapeutic laser was often referred to as a “low-level” or “cold” laser (as opposed to a surgical or “hot” laser). The word “laser” originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Laser light is different from “normal” light because it is of a single wavelength and it is focused (concentrated). The wavelength influences the biological effects of the therapeutic laser and is measured in nanometers (nm). The wavelength also determines the depth of penetration into the body’s tissues. Most medical laser applications use light wavelengths ranging from visible red to infrared. The shorter, visible wavelengths penetrate tissue to a shallower depth, whereas longer, infrared wavelengths penetrate deeper into tissue.
