Oakland Park Animal Hospital declared its recent acquisition of a new cold laser machine. Using this machine, inflammation, arthritis, and soft tissue injuries can be effectively treated.
Based on Class IV laser, the new machine can deeply penetrate under a pet's skin. The laser generates energy, which enhances blood flow and promotes internal healing. The laser enables reduction in nerve sensitivity and decrease pain signals. Cold laser therapy has been found to be effective in treating pets at Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale Lakes and Lazy Lake communities.
Dr. Spencer Ratnoff and Dr. Gary Glickman, Oakland Park veterinarians declared that cold laser therapy is now available in their practice.
Laser therapy treatments have been suggested for older dogs in many veterinary hospitals as aged dogs are not suitable candidates for orthopedic surgeries. However, cold laser therapy is ideal for treating dogs and cats of any age, based on their health condition.
For instance, the veterinarians may suggest laser therapy for treating lick granuloma that affects the dog’s limbs and results in chronic skin lesions. Laser therapy enhances the appearance of skin lesions and brings about quick healing.
Veterinarians generally recommend 8-10 treatment sessions, where each session takes 10-30 min, based on the requirement. Huge dogs with extensive arthritis may need prolonged treatments compared to small animals with fewer skin problems.
The practice offers an all-inclusive animal wellness care. It extends medical services such as vaccinations, annual exams, pet surgery, and spay and neuter operations. The veterinarians treat pocket pets as well as exotic pets.
