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 is used to
Laser is suitable for a range of conditions such as osteoarthritis, musculo-skeletal conditions, wound healing, ear conditions, hot spots, lick granulomas, stomatitis in cats and ear infections among many others. 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.
