Can Laser Therapy help my dog?

Laser therapy can be used across a diverse and wide range of ages and conditions:

• Soft tissue injuries including muscle and ligament strains and sprains

• Tendon dysfunction - tendonitis and tendinopathies

• Joint pain caused by overuse, osteoarthritis or orthopaedic conditions

• Sporting injuries - agility, flyball or canicross issues

• Chronic musculoskeletal pain 

• Inflammation and swelling from acute injuries or long term conditions such as osteoarthritis

• Nerve related pain

• Post operative recovery including fractures to decrease healing and improve recovery times

The clinic offers treatment with a K-Laser Class IV laser which significantly cuts down the treatment time - a single joint can be treated in around 2.5 minutes depending on the size of the dog and colour of their coat.
