Our dog Roper, has had back problems for the past eight years. We feel that Roper (and us) are fortunate that Dr. Greg invested in the laser technology. He has had two treatments and they are absolutely painless and non-intrusive. More importantly, he has experienced relief from backpain without the need for drugs. We think you will find the laser therapy a wonderful tool for helping your animal.

Why Laser Therapy?

The success of the Companion Therapy Laser is due to the following factors:

Wavelength

Optimal wavelength for deeper penetration, specifically designed for animals.

Power

Larger doses deliver up to 1,500 times more energy resulting in faster treatment times.

Power Density

Delivering a larger number of photons per treatment
area allows for more consistent treatment outcomes.

Studies have shown that when tissue cultures are irradiated by lasers, intra cellular-proteins (cytochrome c) absorb the energy from the laser.

Photons are absorbed within the mitochondria and the cell membrane, producing higher ATP levels and boosting DNA production, leading to an increase in cellular health and energy.

Laser therapy reduces pain, inflammation, and
stimulates nerve regeneration, muscle relaxation and immune system response.
