How does laser therapy help dogs?

Laser Therapy reduces inflammation in joints and soft tissues which dramatically reduces pain. More importantly, though, is that laser therapy is “biostimulatory”. This means it actually aids in repairing the damaged tissues and therefore improves strength and provides greater mobility. Most importantly, there are no side effects! Treatments last 3 to 8 minutes per site and require no anesthesia. Your pet will be very comfortable as this laser produces only a soothing warmth in the inflamed tissue. Laser Therapy for chronic conditions can require 5 or 6 treatments initially to get your pet to a very comfortable situation. Booster treatments are then required every 3 to 4 weeks to maintain reduced pain and improved mobility. This therapy may very well reduce the need for additional pain medication.

Recommended joint supplements include Dasuquin Advanced, Phycox Max, and Cosequin. These products generally take at least 4-6 weeks to produce any noticeable changes, but they are well tolerated and have few side effects.
