What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses focused light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes at the cellular level. When applied to a specific area, the therapeutic laser:
- Reduces inflammation
- Relieves pain by releasing endorphins ("feel-good" hormones)
- Encourages tissue repair by stimulating cell regeneration
This cutting-edge technology is widely used in both human and veterinary medicine, including professional sports teams and equine athletes, to treat injuries and enhance recovery.
How Does Laser Therapy Benefit Cats?
Non-Invasive and Pain-Free
Laser therapy is a gentle treatment that doesn’t require needles, incisions, or medications. Cats typically find the process relaxing and comforting.
Faster Healing
Laser therapy accelerates the healing of wounds, surgical sites, and injuries, helping your cat return to their normal activities more quickly.
Effective Pain Management
By stimulating endorphin release and reducing inflammation, laser therapy alleviates discomfort caused by conditions such as:
- Arthritis
- Hip dysplasia
- Soft tissue injuries
- Surgical incisions
- Gingivitis and stomatitis
- Chronic ear inflammation
- Flea allergy dermatitis
What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Session
Each laser therapy session is tailored to your cat’s specific needs, and the process is both quick and stress-free:
Preparation
Your cat is comfortably positioned, and the affected area is gently exposed.
Treatment
A handheld laser device is moved over the treatment area. Most sessions last 10–20 minutes, depending on the number of joints or areas being treated.
Relaxation
The laser emits a soothing warmth that many cats find calming.
Cats often experience noticeable relief after just a few sessions, though a full treatment schedule is typically recommended for maximum benefit.
Why Choose Laser Therapy for Your Cat?
Laser therapy is an excellent option for cats who may not tolerate certain medications or for those who need additional support alongside traditional treatments. It’s particularly beneficial for long-term conditions like arthritis, offering a safe, side-effect-free way to improve your cat’s quality of life.
