H By Dr. Lindsey Keller ow Your Pet can Benefit from Cold Laser Therapy For over 30 years laser therapy has been used to successfully treat conditions in humans. We know your pets are part of your family and you want them to have the best quality of life possible. Laser Therapy can help achieve that goal! The Benefits: • Relief of chronic pain, ex. arthritis, back pain, severe ear conditions, etc. • Relief of acute pain, ex. traumatic injury, wound healing, intervertebral disc disease, torn ACL, etc. • Strong anti-inflammatory effect • Stimulates healing of damaged tissue • Speeds recovery of the structural integrity of injured region • Improvement of local blood circulation • Postoperative pain relief and faster wound healing How it Works: Cold Laser Therapy works by emitting photons of laser energy which penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. As a result, cells of tendons, ligaments, and muscle repair themselves faster. As inflammation is reduced, pain is also decreased. Essentially, t he laser energy kick starts the healing process, thereby speeding recovery. The End Result: Laser Therapy is an effective, proven, and completely pain free treatment option for pet parents who want to ease their pet’s pain and inflammation. Most patients see positive results in one to three treatments. Often pain medications can be reduced or even eliminated after Cold Laser Therapy treatment. Additionally, there are no known negative side effects. 6 sessions for $150 Exp. 1/1/14
