Laser therapy may be considered for:

  • Arthritis and joint discomfort
  • Post-surgical recovery support
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Mobility-related pain or stiffness
  • Inflammation support
  • Rehabilitation treatment plans

What is laser therapy for dogs?

Laser therapy, sometimes called therapeutic laser or photobiomodulation, uses specific light energy as part of a veterinary rehabilitation plan. It may be recommended to support comfort, tissue healing and recovery goals.

At ATC, laser therapy is often used alongside other services such as rehabilitation exercises, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, massage or mobility support when those services fit the dog’s needs.

Laser therapy is not a replacement for diagnosis, surgery, medication or veterinary care. It is one tool that may be used as part of a broader rehabilitation plan.

How ATC uses laser therapy

Animal Therapy Center evaluates your dog’s condition before recommending laser therapy. The team considers your dog’s diagnosis, pain level, recovery stage, mobility goals and any other therapies being used.

Laser therapy may be part of a plan for dogs recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, dealing with soft tissue strain or working through mobility challenges.
