Cold laser therapy is the process of applying a light source to a specific area to produce a therapeutic effect. Laser therapy can be used to help manage acute injuries, chronic pain, and skin problems. The light energy of the laser penetrates the tissues and speeds up healing. At Chestertown Animal Hospital, cold laser therapy is commonly used to treat inflammation associated with:
