Stage IV Laser Therapy
Hillmount is now using a Companion Therapy Laser unit for the treatment of dermal, muscular-skeletal, neurological, and internal organ pain and inflammation.
Stage IV Laser Therapy
The laser’s infrared light waves greatly reduce our patient’s reliance on pain medications and the associated need for laboratory profile monitoring. Laser therapy is used most often on arthritic joints and for muscle and ligament sprains. Our latest successes include an asthmatic cat with improved breathing without medication and a paralyzed Bichon-Frise who is now walking without surgery.
Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive form of treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing and pain control response. It can be used as a standalone therapy or as a complement to other treatment methods. Using a small, handheld device, the doctor applies a low-level laser to the area in question, stimulating normal cellular function. This results in faster wound healing and enhanced pain relief. Best of all, because laser therapy requires no medication or surgery, there are no harmful side effects.
