And I mean, look at these goggles that your cat will get to wear! Here are some common questions we get about at laser therapy:
​
What is laser therapy for cats?
Laser therapy uses deep-penetrating light to stimulate cell repair and increase blood circulation, providing pain relief and accelerated healing. At Vet At Your Door, we use this technique to improve your cat's health, right in your home.
​
What conditions can laser therapy treat in cats?
It's effective for conditions like arthritis, muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries, post-surgical healing, back pain, and degenerative joint disease. We assess each cat's condition to determine the most effective treatment plan.
​
How does laser therapy provide pain relief?
It reduces inflammation, stimulates nerve cells to block pain transmission, and increases endorphin levels. Our team ensures each session is tailored to your cat's comfort and healing needs.
​
What are the benefits of laser therapy beyond pain relief?
Benefits include increased metabolic activity, improved nerve function, reduced scar tissue formation, faster wound healing, and accelerated tissue repair. We focus on these aspects to enhance your cat's overall health.
​
How long does a laser therapy session take?
Sessions typically last 3-8 minutes per location on the body, depending on the condition's severity. Our mobile service makes it convenient, providing treatment in a familiar setting for your cat.
​
How many treatments are needed?
The number of sessions varies. Acute conditions may require fewer treatments, while chronic issues like arthritis might need ongoing sessions. We'll customize the treatment schedule for your cat's needs.
​
Are there any side effects of laser therapy?
Laser therapy is safe with no known adverse effects, making it ideal for cats of all ages and conditions. Our team ensures the highest safety standards during each session.
​
Can laser therapy cure my cat's condition?
While it may not cure all conditions, it significantly aids in managing pain, improving function, and enhancing quality of life. Our goal is to reduce medication dependence and improve your cat's comfort.
​
How do I know if laser therapy is right for my cat?
Our veterinarians will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if laser therapy is suitable for your cat's specific condition and overall health.
​
What should I expect during a laser therapy appointment?
During the session, your cat will experience a warm, soothing sensation. There's no need for sedation, and most cats find the treatment relaxing. We ensure a calm and comfortable experience throughout. And a great picture opportunity with those goggles!
