Cold Laser Therapy

 
Also known as PBM or Photobiomodulation — is a non-invasive, painless, and drug free treatment that has been shown to reduce pain, inflammation and speed healing. It has been effectively used to treat many acute and chronic conditions, including:

  • Post-surgical healing
  • Sprains, strains, and fractures
  • Degenerative joint disease
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Periodontal disease
  • Lick granulomas
  • Hip dysplasia
  • Tendonitis and arthriti
  • Wounds, cuts, and bites
  • Infections

Using a beam of laser light to deeply penetrate tissue without damage, laser energy induces a biological response in cells which increases blood flow to the targeted area, stimulating the release of pain-relieving hormones. Your pet may feel gentle and soothing warmth during the treatment, which generally takes anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Most patients see positive effects after 3 to 5 sessions.

Ultrasound

 
 
A diagnostic ultrasound, which has been proven to be a powerful tool in both veterinary and human medicine. Our diagnostic ultrasound is part of the state-of-the-art medicine we practice at our hospital and are pleased to offer such a high level of care to our patients. Ultrasonography uses ultrasound waves that produce an image. These waves come from a small probe that is held gently against the pet’s skin. This procedure is completely

painless, is non-invasive, and does not use radiation. The waves sent by the machine either continue through or bounce back, creating contrast and thus an image of the internal organs. Ultrasound waves generate excellent images of abdominal organs, including the liver, spleen, gallbladder, and kidneys in real-time. It can also detect pregnancy in animals and help diagnose stages of cancer. Ultrasound has also been useful in cardiology, as it can evaluate the heart as it beats. This can help detect abnormalities in the motion of heart valves, blood flow, on tractions of the heart muscle, and heart defects.
