About Laser Therapy

Our LASER is a Companion Animal Health CTX 15 Watt Class 4 Laser. This is one of the best medical lasers on the market currently. Whilst this was a scary investment, the little laser is in use every single day!! 

The roller ball delivery/treatment head, means that we can combine laser with massage - this means super efficient massages which also give the amazing benefit of LASER. 

The high wattage that this machine can deliver, means that treatment times can be kept short - perfect for painful, reactive, or fidgety dogs. 

•Light photons penetrate cells & stimulate both the cell membrane and cellular organelles.

•In particular, it stimulates the mitochondria

•This causes stimulation of certain chemicals which helps to accelerate or normalise cellular metabolism.

•It also causes dilation of the blood vessels, which promotes oxygen and nutrient transport. Laser promotes Angiogenesis.

•It causes increased permeability of the blood vessels, which  improves the ability of white blood cells, meaning they can break down damaged tissue / bacteria. 

•LASER stimulation also serves to alter nerve stimulation threshold, helping them to fire less easily. 

•It reduces Inflammation. Inhibits inflammatory prostoglandins and increases lymphatic capillaries.
