What Is Pet Laser Therapy?
At Toronto Central Animal Clinic we offer pet laser therapy as a modern & effective treatment to heal animals. Pet laser therapy has been proven to be beneficial in speeding recovery, decreasing inflammation, and much more. Here at our animal clinic we use state of the art equipment, such as the MLS Class IV high power laser. MLS Laser operates using 2 wavelengths simultaneously (808nm and 905nm) allowing the beams to penetrate deep to heal the tissue, relief pain and deliver healing laser energy to target tissues at significantly greater depths. Class IV Laser Therapy is proven to bio-stimulate tissue repair and growth and is side effect free.
How Does Pet Laser Therapy Work?
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.
