Superior Animal Hospital adds laser therapy services for pets

Superior Animal Hospital announced the addition of Companion Therapy Laser to its practice.

Superior Animal Hospital is the first veterinary hospital in the Twin Ports to have a therapeutic laser. With the addition of the laser, companion animals will receive relief of pain, inflammation and swelling associated with soft tissue injuries, trauma, surgery and chronic, everyday disorders such as arthritis.

Infrared laser light from therapy lasers harmlessly penetrates deep into tissues where it is absorbed in the cells and speeds healing.

Veterinarians treat injuries with laser, as well as treating patients immediately after surgery so incisions heal more quickly. They are applying this technology every day to treat their patients that are in pain, or that have any injury or a wound to decrease healing time.

Laser therapy is an excellent way to assist older pets with aches or pains, and decreased mobility. Chronic conditions and degenerative joint diseases such as arthritis respond well to laser therapy. More severe cases often require a series of treatments to realize the benefit.

Laser treatments are drug free, which is especially important with patients that suffer side effects from medications.
