Laser therapy is becoming more and more popular specifically if your pet is not a good candidate for surgery. It is currently being used in clinics for pain management, promote wound healing, reduce inflammation, swelling and rehabilitation. ComfortingK9s continues to provide in home therapy to relieve painful symptoms of the following:

• Skin wounds caused by abscesses, hot spots, an lick granulomas

• Acute and chronic neck and back pain

• Fractures

• Post-surgery pain, healing, and rehab

• Arthritis; degenerative joint diseases like hip dysplasia

• Allergic conditions

When we apply the laser directly over the injured area, the wavelength lasers have the ability to penetrate the skins layer.

 

Our class III lasers use MLS technology which features a mix of both 650nm diodes as well as 808nm. The 650nm laser diodes penetrates about a quarter inch below the skins level to treat superficial skin lesions, acupuncture points, and fungal infections. While 808nm infrared diodes penetrate up to two inches below the skin level to treat deep tissues like tendons, muscles, and joints.

​

We also have class IV devices producing 980nm cutting the treatment times in half the time of our class III devices.

 

Whether your pet is struggling with post-surgical pain or they’re simply getting older, laser therapy can help them live their very best life. Treatments are relatively quick and can be easily integrated with traditional medical procedures and other holistic practices like acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and massage.
