When lasers come into your mind, you normally think laser pointers which are used in the business presentations. If they are directly shone into eyes, then your eyes can be damaged also. But, lasers which are used in the laser therapy produce infrared light of low intensity. They are not enough powerful to cause the heat in a body.
Laser therapy has been approved by Food and drug administrative to be made use for the pain relief. The lasers are safe in trained professionals’ hands and are not likely to cause any harm to your dog.
For joint pain relief dogs, laser therapy is very safe and doesn’t have any side effects. Vets normally suggest the initial course of the laser therapy, curing the dog every 2nd day for one week. Then reduce a treatment to 1-2 in a week for another 2 weeks. Most of the dogs require ongoing treatment however this may be necessary one time in a month.
