Our vet team at Crossroads Veterinary Hospital use veterinary cold laser therapy for dogs and cats in the Gilbert area as a non-invasive way of treating inflammatory conditions and promoting healing.
What is Veterinary Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy uses light-emitting diodes (otherwise known as LEDs) or low-intensity lasers to help relieve pain, enhance cell function and encourage healing in your pet.
Veterinary laser therapy has been shown to improve several conditions such as joint and muscle pain, muscle spasms and symptoms of arthritis.
