Now offering Companion Therapy Laser!
We at Green Meadows Veterinary Service are dedicated to providing optimal pain and wound management. We are pleased to announce that we are now offering laser therapy as an option to manage post-operative pain and inflammation, reduce discomfort from arthritis, and speed the healing of wounds and sprains.
How Does It Work?
Energy from the therapy laser stimulates cells in the underlying tissue, boosting cell metabolism to promote healthy cell activity, tissue repair, and reduction of inflammation. Your pet will feel a gentle warmth as the laser energy is applied through a non-contact probe. Many animals become more relaxed during and after the procedure due to the release of endorphins, or "feel good chemicals."
A single treatment is applied for relief of post operative pain and inflammation. For wound care, the number of treatments depends upon the severity of the injury and the response to therapy. For treatment of arthritis, treatments are initially administered several times a week then tapered back to as infrequently as needed to control pain and stiffness (usually once every 2-6 weeks).
If you are bringing your pet to us for surgery, we will ask you at the time of check-in whether you would like for us to administer this therapy. We may also discuss it with you when managing wounds or when devising a treatment plan for your pet's arthritis. We welcome any questions you may have as to whether laser therapy may be right for your pet.
