One way to help relieve pain in pets

Pets are family too!

Sadly, pets can suffer from many painful conditions, much like humans.
Surgical incisions, acute injuries, and chronic health problems can cause pain in our four-legged companions. Fortunately, there are solutions. Laser therapy is one of the many ways we help relieve pain in pets here at Shepherds Vineyard Animal Hospital. We are thrilled to provide laser therapy in Apex and would love to help you determine whether this high-tech treatment modality is right for your pet.

What Is Laser Therapy?

During a laser therapy session, we use a class IV cold laser to deliver concentrated light beams to painful areas on a patients’ body.

Unlike the cutting lasers used in surgery, cold lasers do not cause tissue trauma. Instead, they provide a gentle warming sensation that penetrates to reach the deepest layers of tissue. There, they stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and ease pain by reducing inflammation, increasing circulation, and triggering cell regeneration which then accelerates the healing process.

Our veterinarians use laser therapy to treat several conditions in pets, including:  
  • Surgical incisions
  • Gingivitis/Periodontitis
  • Sprains and Strains
  • Fractures
  • Wound Healing
  • Ear Infections
  • Pododermatitis
  • Anal Sacculitis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • IVDD
  • Hip Dysplasia
  • Luxating Patellas
  • ACL Tears
  • Many other acute and chronic conditions
Patients do not experience discomfort or pain during laser therapy. Instead, many experience an immediate reduction in pain and an increase in range of motion. For best results, we usually perform multiple sessions. Laser therapy carries no risk of side effects and is completely safe and non-invasive.
