What is Laser Therapy?
There are basically two types of laser therapy units:
1. Continuous Laser emissions act fast on inflammation, stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation, and inducing fast reabsorption of fluid build-ups; however, they only have a secondary effect on pain, which is diminished after reducing the inflammatory process.
2. Pulsed Laser emissions, on the other hand, have an immediate effect on pain, since they are able to produce analgesia, interfering with the very transmission of the pain impulse to the higher brain centers, but they are less effective at treating inflammation and edema, only achieving results after a long period of application.
The most common Laser Therapy indications are:
1. Arthritis (Degenerative Joint Disease)
2. Back Pain (Intervertebral Disc Disease)
3. Trauma (Skin, Muscle, Bone)
4. Surgery (Incisions, Growth Removals, Bone Surgery)
5. Inflammatory Conditions:
o Acute or Chronic Otitis (Ear problems)
o Anal Gland inflammation
o Periodontitis (Gingivitis)
o Hot Spots
o Lick Granulomas
o Idiopathic Cystitis (Bladder inflammation
o Sinusitis, Rhinitis (Nasal problems)
What does this mean for your pet??
Laser therapy can improve your best friends quality of life in many ways:
• faster recovery from injuries and wounds
• faster healing & scar tissue reduction after surgery or injuries
• reduces joint and muscle pain
• increases joint flexibility
• reduces the symptoms of arthritis
• decreases inflammation
At Toronto Central Animal Clinic we use K-Laser Class IV high power laser. K-Laser operates with 2 infrared wavelengths simultaneously (790nm and 970nm) allowing the beams to go deep to heal the tissue, relief pain and deliver healing laser energy to the target tissues at significantly greater depths. Class IV Laser Therapy is proven to bio-stimulate tissue repair and growth and is side effect free.
