Red light therapy is a natural treatment method that is becoming increasingly popular. Thus, it is also increasingly known as an effective treatment in dogs. Want to know what this form of light therapy can do for your dog? Then read on quickly!

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy is also known as low level laser therapy. This form of light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red light. This light penetrates deep into your dog’s skin and tissues, stimulating cells to repair faster.

This can have the effect of reducing pain and inflammation and reducing disorders. It is a non-invasive treatment with no side effects. This makes it ideal for animals!

How does red light therapy work in dogs?

In this form of light therapy, cells are stimulated to produce energy. This leads to faster healing of complaints, conditions and wounds and can reduce inflammation. This therapy improves your dog’s blood flow and provides better oxygen to the treated area.

In fact, many four-legged animals find treatment enjoyable. The animal may find it relaxing and it is nice because it is not a painful treatment. In addition, you can do this therapy on your animal completely by yourself at home, for example with the PowerCure laser.

What can you use red light therapy on a dog for?

Red light is effective for many different complaints and conditions in dogs (and other animals!). For example, take a look at the treatment protocols from PowerCure. Here’s what red light therapy can be used for:

1. Pain relief

Red light can relieve most forms of pain, regardless of the cause. For example, it helps with pain from conditions such as osteoarthritis, but can also help with herniation or muscle pain.

2. Wound healing

Does your dog have a (painful) wound or perhaps an operation behind it? Even then this light therapy comes in handy. This is because it promotes the recovery of tissues, allowing wounds to heal faster.

3. Mobility problems

Dogs with osteoarthritis, a herniated disc or other movement problems can also benefit from red light. Many dogs experience less pain after a session and are more flexible.

4. Inflammations

Red light can help reduce inflammation in the body. In addition, it also helps prevent inflammation and infection.

How do you use red light therapy safely in dogs?

It is important to treat your dog correctly. This way the effect will be visible faster and you will offer your dog more relaxation. This is how you can treat your dog yourself:

1. Choose the right device: use a device specifically designed to be used for animals, or for both humans and animals. For example, the PowerCure laser is a perfect device to use not only for your pet, but also for yourself if you need it;
2. Treat the right areas: aim the laser at the painful or affected areas and follow the instructions of the laser device;
3. Ensure regularity of sessions: consistency is important to treat the right results.

Is red light therapy appropriate for all dogs?

Yes, this is a good treatment for any dog. Are you unsure if your dog’s complaint is suitable for red light treatment? If so, you can always consult a veterinarian to be sure.
