State Line Animal Hospital has been using this mode of treatment since 2013. “Cold Laser Therapy” is the use of specific wavelengths of light to create therapeutic effects. It is a painless technique that requires minimal restraint and does not require sedation. The effect of the therapy laser includes improved healing time, increases circulation, decreases swelling, and reduces pain. Most patients require several treatments, usually around 6 treatments for the greatest benefit. Most patients exhibit greater comfort within 12-24 hours after treatment. The treatments are cumulative, which means the more you do, the greater the benefit. Numerous studies report that laser therapy can help with joint pain, osteoarthritis, Ligament or muscle sprains, inflammation, burns, chronic wounds, and post -surgical pain. State Line utilizes the laser with all surgical and dental patients as part of our post- surgical recovery protocol.
