Pet Laser Therapy in Rancho Bernardo, CA

Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates cell regeneration by increasing blood flow to the targeted area, which accelerates the healing process. It has been successfully used to alleviate joint pain and treat degenerative diseases.

How Laser Therapy Works

Low-level or cold laser therapy focuses red and infrared light on tissue at and below the surface of the skin. The light energizes the cells, producing a structural protein called collagen used to repair tissue. Lasers continue the healing process by supporting vascular dilation and synthesis, increasing blood circulation to the affected region. The stimulation also releases the body’s own pain-relieving hormones.

The process generally takes between 5-10 minutes, with most patients seeing positive effects after 3-5 uses. The treatment continues to relieve pain and fight inflammation for up to 24 hours following the session.
