Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy may be provided in combination with a hydrotherapy and rehabilitation session or as a stand-alone treatment. We are extremely fortunate to have a Class IV laser which decreases treatment times whilst still providing excellent therapeutic benefits.
Laser therapy uses pulses of infra-red light targeted at particular areas of the body.

Lase therapy may
  • Reduce pain
  • Reduce inflammation of tissues
  • Increase cell replication and repair
  • Help to break down scar tissue - a huge factor in slow recovery from injury/surgery
  • Reduce Oedema and encourages flow of fluid build up
When used correctly it is an extremely safe and effective treatment with virtually no side-effects. We have seen great results when used in combination with hydrotherapy treatments.

Laser is suitable for a range of conditions such as osteoarthritis, ear conditions, hot spots, lick granulomas, stomatitis in cats......
Laser therapy can be used alongside other rehabilitation elements such as hydrotherapy or as a stand-alone treatment. This is particularly suited to small animals such as cats and rabbits that may not be suited to hydrotherapy. 

Treatment times vary but are usually roughly 20-30 minutes and includes a re-assessment at each visit. Patients usually tolerate laser therapy very well and are comfortable and relaxed.

An initial assessment is required prior to starting laser therapy which lasts approximately 1 hour.
