PrinciPessa pets announces the
addition of the very first Companion Animal Laser Therapy treatment in the state
of Nevada!
When choosing a treatment
option for your pet there is now an alternative to pharmaceuticals. The
Companion Animal Therapy Laser System can provide immediate results without any
dangerous side effects.
Treatment Applications include:
Soft
Tissue Injuries:
Acute
Backs, Sprains, Strains, Tendonitis, etc.
Anti-Inflammatory Joint Conditions:
Hip
Dysplasia, Bursitis, Joint Strains, Degenerative Joint Disease and Arthritis
Acute &
Chronic Pain:
Post
Surgical Care
Acupuncture Point Stimulation
What will the application of
laser therapy do for my pet?
Laser therapy applied with
the Companion Therapy Laser System provides a sterile, pain-free, surgery- free,
drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of injuries, wounds,
fractures, neurological conditions, numerous dermatological problems, and pain.
Whether your pet is rehabilitating from trauma or injury, healing from wounds,
or simply aging, your companion will benefit from this revolutionary new
approach to healing.
Laser therapy is the only
course of treatment that actually stimulates the body to heal from within.
Non-thermal photons of light are administered to the body and absorbed by the
injured cells. The cells are then stimulated and respond with a higher rate of
metabolism. This results in increased circulation from the body, an
anti-inflammatory reaction, relief from pain and an acceleration of the healing
process.
What to
expect during a Companion Laser Therapy treatment session for your companion?
Simply put, it provides
relief.
As the laser is administered,
your pet will relax and enjoy, much like you, experiencing a good massage. The
almost immediate relief of pain will allow your pet to be comfortable and any
anxiety that your pet initially experienced will dissipate. Angry feline
companions will start to purr and most of our canine companions will actually
fall asleep during their therapy session.
Frequently, after therapy,
the quote is heard: “Our young animal is back” or “she acts like a puppy again.”
- Pain relief is provided in just a few minutes of therapy and that alone
improves the quality of life for your best friend.
The
Science: How Laser Therapy Works
|
Studies have shown
that when tissue cultures are irradiated by Lasers, enzymes within cells
absorb energy from laser light. Visible (red) light and Near Infrared (NIR)
are absorbed within the mitochondria and the cell membrane. This
produces higher ATP levels and boosts DNA production, leading to an
increase in cellular health and energy. When applied as treatment,
therefore, Lasers have been shown to reduce pain and inflammation as
well as stimulate nerve regeneration, muscle relaxation and immune
system response. Lasers have no effect on normal tissues, as photons of
light are only absorbed and utilized by the cells that need them.
All light is
composed of photons. Photons are small packets of light energy—in the
form of waves— with a defined wavelength and frequency. Photon energy is
able to more effectively penetrate the skin and underlying structures,
therefore accelerating the healing process. Light travels at a constant
speed and oscillates up and down as it moves forward. However, all light
is not the same. It is measured in wavelengths, with each wavelength of
light representing a different color of the spectrum. The number of
oscillations per second represents the frequency of each wavelength;
shorter waves have a greater frequency than longer waves. Laser energy
is coherent (well-ordered photons), monochromatic (single-color) light
energy. When produced as a narrow, bright beam. Laser light holds its
intensity until it is absorbed by a medium (the body). When applied to
an organism, Laser light, tuned to specific wavelengths and frequencies,
stimulates metabolic processes at the cellular level.
Summary of the
Photochemical Process:
Photons
Absorbed in Mitochondria and Cell Membrane within cytochromes and
porphyrins
Singlet Oxygen is Produced
Changes in Membrane Permeability
ATP Synthesized and DNA Produced
Increase in Cell Metabolism from a Depressed Rate to a Normal Level
Selective Bio-Stimulatory Effect on Impaired Cells

The cell
equilibrium, altered by the pathologic process, are restored.
Inflammation is reduced and the analgesic response is very fast. |
Pressure
waves stimulate the lymph draining system in deep layers. The
rapid resorption of inflammation mediators and leaked liquids is
achieved. |
Circulation is stimulated: more oxygen and nutrients can reach
the suffering structures. |

The staff of PrinciPessa pets and the Companion Animal Laser Therapy device can
not diagnose or treat any disease. We encourage you to visit your vet and
discuss all treatment options and welcome the opportunity to include
photobiomodulation in your pets healthcare regime.
