Laser therapy

 

We have a great new treatment option available to you and your pet – a therapeutic LASER! It’s called the ‘K-Laser Cube Performance 30’ and it is the most advanced and the most modern and powerful therapeutic laser available to vets nowadays!

Beware that, elsewhere, ‘laser’ treatments are also sometimes offered, but these are rarely of the same calibre as the ones the K-Laser CP30 can provide! Most of these machines are less powerful, less versatile and less quick and they have fewer clinical indications than the K-Laser CP30. Other forms of light therapy are also on offer, often with even less penetration, power and effect.

This laser treatment is a great new treatment for various conditions because the high intensity light particles directly stimulate the cells in the body’s tissues to heal themselves, and by doing this it reduces healing time and pain. Many rigorous studies have shown the benefit over a wide range of conditions from osteo-arthritis to soft tissue injuries, from wounds to gingivitis and from neurological conditions to ear disease, but it is not a cure for all: some cases can be too extreme for laser treatment.

 

The treatments do not require sedation or anaesthetic and most last between 1-4 minutes only.  During the treatment the laser’s hand piece is passed over the area which needs treatment and the deep penetrating light increases the circulation and brings in oxygen and nutrients creating the best environment for the damaged cells to heal. The response to the treatment can sometimes be seen as soon as 12 hrs after the treatment but the effect is cumulative and most conditions require several treatments for the greatest benefit. Most cases require up to 6 treatments, often delivered over 3-6 weeks. It can be used in conjunction with other treatments, like medication, acupuncture, physiotherapy or hydrotherapy.

The Laser gives us the opportunity to treat patients in a drug-free, pain-free and surgery-free way!
