Pain Relief Without Relying on Medication Alone
At Warwick Animal Hospital, we use a Class IV therapy laser by Cutting Edge to help pets manage pain and inflammation without depending solely on medication. It is a great option for pets that cannot tolerate traditional pain therapies, and it works well alongside treatments your pet may already be receiving.
How Laser Therapy Works
The therapy laser delivers focused light energy beneath the skin, which encourages cells to repair themselves more efficiently and reduces inflammation at the source. Because it supports the body's own healing process rather than simply masking discomfort, laser therapy can be used on nearly any inflammatory condition your pet may be dealing with.
Conditions We Treat with Laser Therapy
We regularly use laser therapy to help manage:
- Cystitis, easing the discomfort of urinary bladder inflammation
- Hip dysplasia, helping reduce joint inflammation and improve comfort during movement
- Osteoarthritis, calming the stiffness and chronic pain common in aging joints
- Wound healing, speeding tissue repair for cuts and other injuries
- Post-surgical recovery, reducing swelling and supporting a smoother healing process
- Acute trauma, managing pain and inflammation in the days following an injury
- Pododermatitis, soothing inflamed paw tissue
- Back pain, relieving discomfort and reducing inflammation along the spine
Benefits of Laser Therapy
Laser therapy offers real, measurable advantages for pets in pain or recovering from injury. It accelerates tissue repair and supports faster wound healing, while helping to minimize scar tissue formation along the way. Many pets experience noticeably less pain and inflammation, along with improved blood flow to the treated area, all without the side effects that can come with long-term medication use. Because it is non-invasive and well tolerated, laser therapy may also reduce how much a pet needs to rely on additional surgical or medical treatment.
What a Treatment Plan Looks Like
Laser therapy can be used on virtually any inflammatory condition, and sessions are quick, typically lasting between 2 and 15 minutes. Most pets are treated one to three times a week, depending on the condition being addressed. While many pets show improvement after their very first session, the effects of laser therapy are cumulative, meaning most patients need several sessions to see the greatest benefit. Your veterinarian will recommend a treatment schedule tailored to your pet's specific condition and how they respond along the way.
Comfort, Without the Side Effects
If your pet is dealing with chronic pain, a slow-healing wound or recovery after surgery, laser therapy may be a valuable part of their treatment plan. Schedule a laser therapy consultation at Warwick Animal Hospital today.
