Laser Therapy for Pets

Treatment for Chronic Pain in Your Pet

Laser therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment option that uses light to stimulate the body’s natural healing and pain control response. Through this innovative technology, your loved one can enjoy less pain, better mobility and faster post-surgery recovery periods. Laser therapy can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as a complement to other treatment methods.

For more information about laser therapy for animals, please call Benson Animal Hospital at (919) 894-1887. We can typically see your pet within a week for an appointment. Emergency availability varies, depending on the day and our existing schedule.
