Cutting Edge MLS Laser
MLS Therapy is a new therapy for treating pain, inflammation, swelling, and for repairing injured tissues. With regard to pain reduction, the therapy laser stimulates the synthesis of pain reducing biochemicals in the body, specifically endorphins and encephalin. Since the laser stimulates lymphatic drainage from a site, it also considerably reduces swelling and inflammation, which also has a pain reduction effect. Finally, the therapy laser stimulates muscle and trigger point providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
Accelerated healing is another benefit of the therapy laser, as photons of emitted light penetrate deeply into tissues to stimulate rapid cellular reproduction and growth. These photons also increase the amount of energy available to cells so that they can absorb nutrients while eliminating waste products faster. As a result of all of this, tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscle and skin are repaired more quickly.
Another phenomenon that stimulates faster healing is the opening or dilation of small blood vessels in an area. More blood supply brings in healing cells faster, accelerating the healing process while reducing the formation of scar tissue.
Nutritional Management
For management of spinal disc disease, joint pain, and post operative orthopedic surgery, optimal results are obtained by combining our therapy laser with nutrional management with Adequan and Dasuquin. Adequan is given by injection with each laser treatment, while Dasuquin is offered daily by oral administration with treat like flavor tablets. These nutritional compounds work by infusing the body with natural anti-inflammatory relief, while providing the raw materials for the restoration of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues. The result is faster healing, increased mobility, and decreased pain with less or even no need for anti-inflammatory drugs.
Typical rehabilitation course:
3 week induction phase:
Week 1: 3 laser treatments with Adequan injection Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Week 2: 2 laser treatments with Adequan injection Monday, Wednesday.
Week 3: 1 laser treatment with Adequan injection Wednesday
Total cost for entire induction phase:
Laser alone: $240
Laser with Adequan injection: $375
Maintenance phase:
Following induction phase, patient returns for laser treatment/Adequan injection once every 4-8 weeks, depending on the individual needs of the patient.
Total cost per treatment:
Laser alone: $40
Laser with Adequan injection: $65
*Best results are attained with patient maintained on Dasuquin, available for purchase in our clinic or our online Vetstore*
