K Laser

What is k-laser therapy?

 

The beneficial uses of the k-laser include alleviating chronic pain, accelerating healing and rehabilitation, and much more! 

 

Deep-penetrating photons from the laser influence cell chemistry in a variety of beneficial ways.  The infrared wavelengths create a warm sensation in your pet’s body at the precise location requiring treatment.  Treatment time, power, and laser pulse frequency are based on your pet’s individual condition and body size.

 

After surgery, patients receiving laser therapy have less pain.  Their recovery is faster, with fewer complications.

Where is it beneficial?

 

Pain management

Pet owners often prefer a progressive, noninvasive therapy to a drug regimen for the treatment of chronic pain.  K-laser therapy provides that solution.

 

Wound Healing

K-laser therapy can significantly reduce healing time.  Traumatic skin injuries and surgical incisions benefit greatly from laser intervention.

 

Rehab

Musculoskeletal injuries and orthopedic surgeries often require additional rehabilitation solutions.  K-laser therapy provides non-invasive remedies for quicker recovery.

What to expect…

 

There is no patient sedation or restraint required—the experience is usually pleasant and comforting to them.  Most pets do not need to have their hair clipped.

 

Although improvement is often seen after the first visit, most patients require several treatments (3-8) for greatest benefit.  For most conditions, we recommend a multi-visit treatment plan.  Treatments vary in length, but most sites require 2-8 minutes.  A majority of patients exhibit greater comfort and mobility within 12-24 hours after laser treatment.

 

K-laser therapy treatments are cumulative in nature.  The length and frequency of treatments varies with your pet’s condition.  A sample treatment schedule is as follows:

  • Every other day for one week (3 total)
  • Twice the second week (2 total)
  • Once the third week (1 total)
  • Boosters as needed

Please ask one of our doctors about the treatment program best suited for your pet.
