Breakthrough Technology for Better Healing
At Hampton Roads Veterinary Urgent Care, we offer therapeutic laser treatments that harness the healing power of light to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate recovery. This non-invasive, drug-free technology stimulates cellular regeneration and enhances circulation to injured tissues, providing effective relief for acute injuries, chronic conditions, and post-surgical healing, with no side effects or discomfort.
The (Non) Cutting Edge of Care
Laser therapy has been used in human medicine for decades, and Hampton Roads Veterinary Urgent Care is pleased to offer this safe and highly beneficial pet laser therapy to our patients.
This painless, drug-free, non-invasive technology treats a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions and accelerates the healing process after surgery. It works by stimulating cell regeneration, increasing blood flow to the targeted area, and releasing the body’s own pain-relieving endorphins and hormones. Much like sunlight helps plant cells grow and produce energy, laser therapy energizes your pet’s cells.
On average, the process lasts around 10-15 minutes, with most patients experiencing positive effects after 3-5 uses. The treatment continues to relieve pain and fight inflammation for up to 24 hours following the session. Not only is the process not painful, but many patients find the gentle warmth soothing. Some pets get deeply relaxed during their sessions, and others even fall asleep. Both your pet and the technician administering the treatment will wear protective eyewear during the procedure.
Laser therapy is often used in conjunction with other types of veterinary care, including pharmaceutical regimens and complementary treatments. The broad biochemical benefits and lack of adverse side effects have made laser therapy a go-to for both post-operative rehab in veterinary medicine and an excellent choice for pets who can’t take traditional pain medications (such as NSAIDs) due to health concerns.
Our veterinary team will develop a customized treatment plan for your pet, determining the optimal frequency, intensity, and duration of therapy sessions based on your pet’s specific condition and needs. Many pets experience immediate relief after just one session, while those with chronic conditions benefit from regular maintenance treatments.
If you’re wondering if laser therapy could benefit your pet, the answer is likely yes! We’ve seen many fantastic success stories, and we’re incredibly excited to offer this innovative service to our patients.
