Small Animals

Laser phototherapy systems within small animal practices tend to be in great demand because of their wide range of useful applications. Whether it's reducing inflammation in joints, bringing chronic non-healing wounds to resolution or optimising recovery in acute cases of injury to skin, muscle, tendon or ligament, the treatment is quick and the benefits of low level laser rapidly become obvious.

It is an excellent tool for post-surgical healing. Usable over pins and plates with research showing its positive effects on the re-growth of both bone and nerve as well as soft tissue.

Non-invasive, drug-free and affording pain relief, LLLT is well-accepted by patients. Animals often visibly relax during treatment - a result of both reduced pain through nociceptor modulation and the therapy's demonstrated ability to increase endorphin release. This combination is particularly effective for tackling anxiety related behaviours such as lick granuloma and feather plucking.

Trigger point stimulation and laser acupuncture are also possible with an Omega system offering an effective alternative to needling and making acupuncture a practical option in this field.
