LASER THERAPY FOR YOUR PETS

CLASS IV LASER THERAPY is a high-power therapy laser that provides safe, non-invasive solutions for pain management, wound healing and rehabilitation.

K-Laser received its FDA clearance for human use in January, 2005, and became available to the veterinary profession a year later.  Dogwood Veterinary Hospital and Laser Center was one of the first to invest in Class IV Laser Therapy for its patients.

High-energy laser therapy can penetrate deeply into the body to diminish pain and stimulate healing.  Many pets suffer from chronic pain due to arthritis caused by hip dysplasia, spondylosis, traumatic injury, etc.  A class of drugs, non-steroid anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), has provided significant relief from pain, but long-term use of these drugs can have some undesirable effects.  In addition, some animals are NSAID-intolerant.

Cats are particularly sensitive to some of these medications, so there are fewer pain management options available for the feline patient.  K-Laser provides a safe solution for them.

K-Laser is a new type of therapeutic laser that can provide remarkable relief from chronic pain.  During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area.  This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain.  As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.  Treatments last about 2-5 minutes per site and are completely comfortable for the patient.
