Pyramid Veterinary Hospital is proud to offer a Companion Laser Therapy system: a Class IV cold laser. Laser therapy works via a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). When a sufficient dose of light energy reaches the targeted tissue, there is decreased inflammation, decreased pain, and accelerated healing. Laser therapy has many applications for use including:
- healing of infections, burns, and wounds
- relief of pain and inflammation secondary to acute injury or chronic conditions such as arthritis
- healing tooth extraction sites
- healing incision sites post operatively
Depending on the condition we are treating, laser therapy is generally most effective with a series of treatments. You and your veterinarian will discuss the best solution for your pet’s situation.
If you have any questions or concerns about how laser therapy can benefit your pet, please contact us today at (775) 356-8323.
