When a physical condition or injury affects your pet’s mobility or quality of life, there is one goal: A rapid return to every-day activities.  Our animal hospital in Dunedin, FL, is proud to be on the medical technological forefront by offering MLS Laser Therapy for dogs and cats for pain relief. 

Laser therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free alternative for managing pain.  MLS Laser therapy has been cleared by the FDA for use in both the Veterinary and Medical fields.  It is proven safe and effective for treating many debilitating pain conditions.  And there are no known side-effects! 

MLS Laser Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that have a strong anti-inflammatory, anti-edema effect on tissues that are exposed to the laser. Photons of laser energy penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth.  As a result of exposure to the MLS Laser, the cells of tendons, ligaments and muscles repair themselves faster.  As inflammation is reduced pain subsides very quickly.  In simple terms, laser energy kick-starts the healing process, thereby speeding recovery.

Get your loved one back to pain-free health more quickly with MLS Laser Therapy!

What is Laser Therapy?

Laser Therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions.

How Does it Work?

Light energy enters the damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the damaged cells. Once the cells recover, the healing process is complete.

What Can My Pet Expect During a Treatment?

MLS Laser Therapy is a painless treatment that lasts an average of 3 minutes. Your pet may experience a comfortable sensation at the point of application.

What Can Be Expected After the Treatment?

Most patients see positive results in one to three treatments. Acute conditions can subside with as few as one set of treatment. Chronic conditions can be managed with regular monthly treatments. Often, pain medications can be reduced or eliminated after Laser Therapy Treatment.
