How Laser Therapy Helps Your Pet Heal
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy works by using two synchronized wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into tissue. These wavelengths trigger cellular activity, boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the release of endorphins—the body’s natural painkillers. The result? A significant reduction in pain and swelling, faster tissue repair, and improved healing outcomes.
Each treatment is fast (typically under 10 minutes), painless, and well-tolerated by pets. There’s no need for shaving the fur, no sedation, and no recovery time. Most pets actually find their sessions soothing and relaxing, and some even fall asleep during treatment!
Pet Conditions Treated with Laser Therapy
We use MLS Laser Therapy to treat a wide range of conditions in cats and dogs at our animal hospital in Northeast Illinois, including:
Arthritis & Joint Pain
Laser therapy helps reduce inflammation and discomfort associated with arthritis, improving your pet’s mobility and quality of life.
Post-Surgical Healing
By stimulating circulation and cell regeneration, laser treatments help minimize swelling, ease pain, and speed up recovery after surgery.
Wounds & Injuries
From cuts and abrasions to surgical incisions and pressure sores, laser therapy encourages faster, cleaner healing with less scarring.
Tendonitis & Soft Tissue Injuries
Treatments help restore strength and flexibility by easing inflammation and promoting tissue repair in injured muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Inflamed Ears (Otitis)
Chronic or acute ear infections can cause significant pain; laser therapy reduces inflammation and supports faster resolution.
Lick Granulomas
This stubborn skin condition often caused by chronic licking can benefit from laser therapy’s anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
