Veterinary Laser Therapy
At Wayside Animal Hospital in Jasper, we’re committed to helping pets feel their best. Veterinary laser therapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses therapeutic light to support the body’s natural healing processes, reduce inflammation, and help manage pain.
What Is Veterinary Laser Therapy?
Veterinary laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy or photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity in targeted tissues. This process may help reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and improve comfort.
Unlike surgical lasers, therapeutic lasers are used to support healing rather than cut or remove tissue. Treatments are generally gentle and do not require incisions or anesthesia.
Benefits of Laser Therapy for Pets
Depending on your pet’s condition, laser therapy may help:
-
Manage pain and inflammation: Help improve comfort for pets experiencing certain painful conditions.
-
Support healing: Encourage the body’s natural tissue-repair processes.
-
Assist with recovery after surgery: Complement other treatments during postoperative recovery.
-
Improve mobility: Help some pets move more comfortably when dealing with arthritis or other musculoskeletal conditions.
-
Support soft tissue recovery: Serve as an additional treatment option for certain injuries and inflammatory conditions.
Results vary depending on your pet’s health, diagnosis, and treatment plan. Laser therapy is often most effective when incorporated into a comprehensive veterinary care plan.

Your veterinarian may recommend laser therapy as part of treatment for certain conditions, including:
-
