Pet Laser Therapy in Milan, NM
A Safe, Non-Invasive Way to Help Your Pet Heal and Feel Better Faster
Advanced Pain Relief and Healing for Your Pet
At Airport Animal Clinic, we offer pet laser therapy as part of our modern, compassionate approach to veterinary care. This non-invasive, drug-free treatment uses focused light energy to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing in pets. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery or struggling with chronic discomfort, laser therapy can be an effective part of their pain management plan.
What Is Pet Laser Therapy?
Pet laser therapy (also known as cold laser or Class IV laser therapy) is a safe and painless treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate tissue repair, increase circulation, and reduce pain signals. It’s used to treat a wide range of conditions in both cats and dogs and is often recommended alongside other veterinary treatments.
At Airport Animal Clinic, laser therapy sessions are tailored to each pet’s condition, medical history, and tolerance level. Most pets find the treatment relaxing and comfortable, with no sedation required.
Conditions Treated with Pet Laser Therapy
We may recommend laser therapy as part of a broader pain management strategy for conditions such as:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Hip dysplasia
- Back pain or spinal injuries
- Surgical recovery
- Soft tissue injuries and muscle strains
- Wound healing
- Lick granulomas or skin conditions
- Ear infections and inflammation
Because laser therapy promotes healing at the cellular level, many pets experience reduced pain and improved mobility in just a few sessions.
How Does Pet Laser Therapy Work?
Laser therapy works through a process called photo biomodulation, where light energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by damaged cells. This triggers a series of biological reactions that:
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Stimulate cell regeneration
-
Increase blood flow
-
Release endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers)
What to Expect During Laser Therapy Sessions
Each treatment session typically lasts between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the condition being treated. There is no downtime, and you can expect to see improvements over the course of several visits.
Do Pets Feel Anything During Treatment?
Pet laser therapy is completely painless and non-invasive. Most pets experience a warm, soothing sensation in the treated area — many even relax or fall asleep during the session. Because there’s no discomfort, sedation or restraint is rarely needed, and treatments are typically stress-free for both pets and their owners.
Our trained veterinary team ensures your pet is comfortable throughout the entire session, using gentle handling and positive reinforcement to create a calm experience.
How Many Sessions Will My Pet Need?
The number of laser therapy sessions depends on your pet’s specific condition, overall health, and how they respond to treatment. As a general guideline:
- Acute injuries or post-surgical recovery may improve after 1–3 sessions
- Chronic conditions like arthritis may require ongoing therapy (e.g., 1–2 sessions per week for several weeks, then tapering as symptoms improve)
- Your veterinarian will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs and monitor progress at each visit
Many pet owners begin to see noticeable results — such as improved mobility, reduced pain, and increased energy — within just a few treatments.
Why Choose Laser Therapy for Your Pet?
Laser therapy is an excellent option for pets who:
- Cannot tolerate certain medications
- Need faster recovery after surgery or injury
- Experience chronic conditions like arthritis
- Benefit from natural, non-invasive pain relief
It’s also safe to use in combination with other treatments, including medications, rehabilitation, and acupuncture, making it a flexible addition to your pet’s wellness plan.
If your pet is struggling with pain, inflammation, or slow healing, pet laser therapy could be the solution. Our team is here to help your pet feel better, move more freely, and enjoy life again.
