Veterinary Therapeutic Laser
At College Hills Veterinary Hospital, we offer advanced veterinary therapeutic laser treatments for dogs and cats in College Station and surrounding communities to help manage pain, reduce inflammation, and support healing.
What Is Veterinary Therapeutic Laser?
Veterinary therapeutic laser, also known as pet laser therapy, is a modern treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing at the cellular level. This technology helps reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and accelerate tissue repair without the need for medications or surgery.
MLS® Laser Therapy is FDA-cleared for use in both veterinary and human medicine and is considered a safe and effective option for many conditions. Because it is non-invasive and has no known side effects, it is well-tolerated by pets of all ages, including those with chronic conditions or recovering from injury.
How Pet Laser Therapy Supports Healing
During a pet laser therapy session, targeted light energy is applied to affected areas of the body. The laser penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating cells and encouraging faster repair of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
This process helps:
- Reduce inflammation and swelling
- Relieve pain associated with injury or chronic conditions
- Improve circulation and tissue healing
- Support faster recovery after surgery or trauma
- Enhance mobility and overall comfort
Veterinary therapeutic laser is commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, hip dysplasia, lameness, disc disease, wounds, post-surgical swelling, inflamed ears, and lick granulomas. Treatments are typically quick and comfortable, and many pets relax during the session.
