THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., June 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anza Animal Clinic has announced the availability of the Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Therapy Laser for the treatment of pain in dogs and cats. Therapy Laser has been making waves in human medicine. Non-invasive, non-surgical laser treatment is sought after because it relieves pain without the dangers of surgery or drugs. It is also fast, with most veterinary sessions taking only about 20 minutes to complete.
Medical and related professionals have long sought ways to treat pain without the need to prescribe potentially dangerous or addictive drugs and without the need for surgery. A major advancement in this direction came with the invention of the therapy laser, which does not cut into tissue. Instead, it stimulates cell growth and the release of endorphins to relieve pain and promote healing.
"Typically, patients receive several treatment sessions. Many improve after just one or two, but for the best results, a full course is recommended. When the underlying problem is one that usually never goes away completely – such as arthritis – sessions are taken on an ongoing basis. This keeps pain under control and improves mobility," explained Dr. Stephen Watase, DVM, the owner of Anza Animal Clinic .
For most dogs and cats, an MLS laser therapy session requires only 20 minutes. The laser is passed over the area to be treated, and the energy from the laser penetrates and is absorbed by the tissue. Depending on the wavelength the vet has selected, it will then increase blood flow, stimulate healing, release endorphins, or provide other therapeutic effects. The MLS system has the safety of a cold laser, but with two laser frequencies in super-pulse mode transfers energy faster and will never burn on direct contact with the skin.
Anza Animal Clinic recommends Therapy Laser for arthritis, back or knee pain, hip dysplasia, and torn cruciate ligaments in particular. In the case of torn ligaments, the laser's ability to speed healing is especially useful, while for pain, the reduction of inflammation is the key ingredient. Many effects are almost immediate.
