Laser Therapy
Pet Laser Therapy in Lubbock, TX
Safe, Noninvasive Pain Relief & Healing at Animal Medical Center
What Is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is a noninvasive, drug-free treatment used to reduce pain and inflammation and promote faster healing in pets. This advanced therapy—widely used in both human and veterinary medicine—delivers gentle, therapeutic infrared light directly to affected tissues.
At Animal Medical Center in Lubbock, TX, our trained staff use a handheld device that emits controlled light energy, allowing us to treat both surface wounds and deep tissue injuries. The light penetrates through fur, skin, and fat to reach damaged cells and stimulate recovery at the cellular level.
This process, known as photobiomodulation (PBM), targets the mitochondria—the “powerhouse” of the cell—to help restore normal cell function and accelerate tissue repair. PBM affects only damaged or inflamed cells, leaving healthy tissues untouched.
Laser therapy can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, often helping to reduce or even replace the need for pain medications.
What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Session
Laser therapy sessions are quick, gentle, and pain-free, making them well tolerated by most pets. No clipping or shaving of the treatment area is required.
Here’s what to expect:
Your pet will be placed in a comfortable position.
They may be fitted with protective “doggles” for eye safety.
If you choose to stay with your pet, you’ll also receive laser-safe eyewear.
The laser is applied for 5–10 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
During the session, your pet will feel a warm, soothing sensation—many pets relax completely or even drift off to sleep during treatment!
For chronic conditions such as arthritis or skin disease, multiple sessions may be recommended for the best results. Your veterinarian will create a customized laser therapy plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
