Is your pet suffering from arthritis or any other painful condition?

Although there are many treatment options available to treat arthritis, not all of them provide fast and effective results. Pell City Animal Hospital in Cropwell, Alabama is pleased to offer Companion Laser Therapy, a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option that provides rapid, effective pain management for dogs and cats.

What Is Pet Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy is an FDA-approved technique that uses deep-penetrating, non-thermal light to accelerate the natural healing process, stimulating the body to heal from within. In addition to providing pain relief, pet laser therapy can be used for a variety of conditions and can benefit your companion in many ways.

Benefits of Pet Laser Therapy

Pet Laser therapy has been proven to be scientifically effective in treating arthritis pain, post-surgical pain and inflammation, and a number of acute and chronic conditions. Because this treatment option uses light instead of physical tools, it results in a reduction of scar tissue formation as well. Other benefits include:

• Faster wound healing
• Rapid recovery
• Calming sensation during treatment
• Marked improvement in pet health and behavior
