Laser Therapy
LASER Therapy at Snowy’s Canine Therapy Centre is an advanced treatment method that accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and relieves pain without the need for drugs or invasive procedures. Using photobiostimulation, LASER therapy stimulates cellular activity, promoting tissue repair and improving circulation in targeted areas. It is a highly effective solution for both acute and chronic conditions, providing dogs with a safe and effective treatment option for pain relief and mobility improvement.
How LASER Therapy Works
LASER therapy works by using light energy to penetrate tissues and activate the body's natural healing processes. The light is absorbed by cells, stimulating the mitochondria and increasing their production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)—the energy source that powers cellular functions. This stimulates faster repair and regeneration of tissue, reduces inflammation, and blocks pain signals from reaching the brain. Additionally, LASER therapy promotes endorphin production, which further aids in reducing pain and enhancing mobility.

Key Benefits of LASER Therapy
LASER therapy provides a range of therapeutic benefits for dogs, making it ideal for treating various conditions:
- Accelerated Healing: LASER therapy can speed up recovery from injuries, surgeries, and wounds by stimulating cellular repair and improving blood circulation.
- Reduced Inflammation: It helps reduce swelling and inflammation in soft tissues, making it highly effective for conditions like arthritis or soft tissue injuries.
- Pain Relief: The therapy helps block pain signals and encourages the release of endorphins, providing effective relief from chronic and acute pain.
- Faster Recovery with Fewer Medications: By improving circulation and promoting tissue repair, LASER therapy can reduce the need for pain medication, speeding up recovery times.
- Non-invasive & Drug-Free: LASER therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and drug-free treatment that is well-tolerated by most dogs, with no side effects.
Conditions Treated with LASER Therapy
LASER therapy is a highly versatile treatment that can be used to address both acute and chronic conditions. Some of the most common issues treated with LASER therapy include:
- Osteoarthritis: Helps reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness, improving mobility for dogs suffering from degenerative joint diseases.
- Wounds and Fractures: Speeds up healing of surgical wounds and fractures by stimulating cellular repair and collagen production.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Ideal for treating strains, sprains, and soft tissue injuries, reducing pain and swelling while promoting quicker recovery.
- Chronic Pain: Relieves ongoing discomfort associated with conditions such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, or other musculoskeletal disorders.
- Post-Surgical Recovery: Accelerates healing after surgery by promoting cellular regeneration and reducing pain and swelling around the surgical site.
