At Acton Animal Hospital, we offer a pioneering approach to pain relief with our cat and dog laser therapy. This state-of-the-art method employs a therapeutic laser that projects a powerful, but gentle blend of red and infrared light directly into the pet's affected areas. This light is absorbed by the skin and muscle tissues, facilitating a non-invasive treatment process that effectively addresses various ailments, from injuries to infections.
Our patients can see significant benefits from this treatment, which leverages light energy in a nearly touch-free manner to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and promote tissue healing. We often integrate laser therapy with other treatments, including medications and alternative therapies, to achieve optimal results.
