Therapeutic Laser

Therapeutic laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy, is a gentle and effective treatment we offer at Main Street Veterinary Hospital to help pets heal, feel more comfortable, and get back to doing what they love. It is noninvasive, pain free, and well tolerated by most dogs and cats.

How Cold Laser Therapy Works

Cold laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissues and stimulate cells at a deeper level. This process helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and encourage the body’s natural healing response. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers do not cut or generate heat, which makes treatments safe and comfortable for your pet.

Conditions That Can Benefit from Laser Therapy

Therapeutic laser treatments can be helpful for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Arthritis and joint pain

• Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries

• Post surgical recovery

• Wounds and hot spots

• Back and neck pain

• Chronic pain conditions

• Inflammation related to injury or aging
  
  

Your Main Street veterinarian will determine if laser therapy is appropriate based on your pet’s condition, age, and overall health.

What to Expect During Treatment

Laser therapy sessions are quick and stress-free, often performed right in the exam room with plenty of treats to help your pet feel comfortable. Most treatments last just a few minutes, and many pets find them relaxing. Some even fall asleep during their session. There is no shaving required, and your pet can return to normal activity right after treatment unless otherwise advised.

Benefits of Therapeutic Laser Therapy

• Reduces pain and inflammation

• Speeds up healing and tissue repair

• Improves mobility and comfort

• Drug free and noninvasive

• Safe for long term use when recommended
  
  

Laser therapy is often used alongside other treatments, such as medications or physical rehabilitation, to support the best possible outcome.

A Personalized Approach to Care

At Main Street Veterinary Hospital, we believe in creating treatment plans tailored to each pet. If your pet is experiencing pain, recovering from surgery, or struggling with mobility, therapeutic laser therapy may be a helpful part of their care plan.
