A Natural Treatment for Pet Sprains, Strains, and Pains

Why Light Therapy is the Targeted Pain Relief Your Pet Needs

If your dog or cat suffers an injury such as a muscle strain or joint sprain, your first thought may be to treat with conventional medicine. While the benefits of vet-prescribed pain-relieving drugs should not be discounted, pet light therapy is a viable alternative.

Light treatment for dogs and cats can be used alone or alongside the treatments your vet has prescribed. It helps alleviate the pain of an injury while stimulating the affected cells to heal themselves, thus speeding up the recovery process. You can apply laser treatment for pain and inflammation too; the light promotes lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling in addition to releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals.

What are the main benefits of light therapy if your pet suffers an injury?

• It's a risk-free treatment with no surgery, anesthetic, side effects, or stress involved

• It specifically targets the affected area, honing in on the pain and swelling

• It treats the injury at the source rather than masking pain as drugs do

• You don't need any formal training to be able to perform the therapy

• Treatments are generally only a few minutes long so your pet stays calm

• It's a veterinary-approved therapy and known to be effective for both dogs and cats

• You can buy the PetThera home LLLT device for convenient, cost-effective treatment 

Once your dog or cat's injury is healing nicely, you can continue using low level light therapy as a form of rehabilitation for the affected muscle or joint. Unlike with drugs, there are no harmful side effects of continuing the treatment or performing multiple sessions. In this instance, PetThera would be a good investment to help you avoid the cost and inconvenience of repeated trips to the vet. Your pet will surely thank you for that, too!
