Laser Therapy Fargo, ND

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a drug free, non-surgical pain relief option that uses specific wavelengths of light to create a warming, therapeutic effect. The effects include pain reduction, increased circulation, and decreased swelling, as well as improved healing time. Laser therapy provides therapeutic effects by increasing circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. By doing this the body is able to reduce inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. Laser therapy can be used for, but is not limited to: post-surgical pain, joint pain, ligament sprains, muscle strains, puncture wounds, post-traumatic injury, rehabilitation, hip dysplasia, burns, neck and back pain, osteoarthritis, edema and congestion, joint pain, chronic wounds, and post-orthopedic surgical recovery. Laser therapy can also be used in conjunction with additional treatments such as acupuncture.

The duration of treatments depends on the condition being treated and how long the patient has been experiencing pain. Some patients respond to treatment after one session, but because each treatment is cumulative many require 5 to 8 treatments or more for the full effects to be felt. During a typical treatment most patients do not feel any stimulation, with the exception of a slight warming feeling, and each treatment is also relatively short at only 3 to 8 minutes per site. Very few side effects have been reported with laser therapy, although occasionally some old pain symptoms or injuries may feel aggravated after treatment. Each case will be evaluated by a veterinarian and a treatment schedule will be determined based on your pet's needs.

Physical Rehabilitation

Valley Veterinary Hospital is now offering physical medicine/rehab appointments! If your pet is recovering from a recent injury or surgery, or has been showing signs of limping or discomfort that you feel would benefit from physical rehab please call us to set up an initial rehab evaluation.

What is physical rehabilitation medicine?

Medical rehabilitation can include multiple modalities for pain management as well as therapeutic exercises. In your pet’s physical rehabilitation medicine appointment we will assess your pet’s musculoskeletal system to determine what areas to target with pain control and therapeutic exercises both in clinic and at home. We will then work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your pet’s individual needs and your goals for their lifestyle.

What does a physical rehabilitation appointment look like?

Multiple modalities will be used together in order to target pain and muscle strengthening. This may include any of the following:
Photobiomodulation with a Class IV therapeutic laser (Laser Therapy)
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
Therapeutic Exercises

What should you expect from physical rehab?

The goal of physical rehabilitation is to offer pain relief and restore function post injury and to prevent further injuries from occurring.

When should physical rehab be considered?

Below are a few of the more common conditions that can benefit from physical rehabilitation:
Cranial Cruciate Rupture, Intervertebral Disc Disease, Luxating Patellas, Hip Dysplasia, Osteoarthritis, Lameness, General Aging, Overweight/Obesity, Orthopedic Pain, Post surgical, Neurologic Disorders/Paralysis

We would love the chance to work with you and your pet to improve your pet's quality of life!

Physical Rehabilitation will not cure any disease or eliminate chronic issues completely but can help to alleviate future complications. Multiple sessions will be required for adequate response to treatments. If you are interested in a physical rehabilitation medicine session give us a call at 701-232-3391 to set up a consultation and first session with Dr. Haroldson.
