Pet Laser Therapy in State College, PA
JM Ritchie Veterinary Hospital offers therapeutic laser treatments for pets in State College and Centre County. Discover how this noninvasive, drug-free therapy supports pain management and healing for dogs and cats.
Advanced Pain Relief for Dogs and Cats
Veterinary laser therapy is a gentle, noninvasive treatment that uses light energy to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and stimulate healing in your pet’s tissues. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery or managing chronic joint issues, laser therapy can help improve their comfort and mobility—without the use of medications.
At JM Ritchie Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer therapeutic laser treatments as part of our comprehensive approach to pain management for dogs and cats. Each session is quick, comfortable, and performed right here in our State College animal hospital.
How Veterinary Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the tissue. This process, known as photobiomodulation, encourages cellular regeneration and increases circulation—helping your pet heal faster and feel better.
Treatments are:
- Completely noninvasive
- Painless and calming
- Performed without sedation or shaving
- Typically completed in just a few minutes
Conditions We Treat with Pet Laser Therapy
Our veterinary team uses laser therapy to treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions in both dogs and cats, including:
- Post-surgical pain and swelling
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
- Muscle and ligament injuries
- Back pain and hip dysplasia
- Ear infections or skin wounds
- Lick granulomas and hotspots
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Every pet is different, so we customize each laser therapy plan to meet your pet’s specific needs. Some patients experience noticeable relief after just one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments.
Our team will evaluate your pet’s condition and recommend the ideal schedule for their care. Laser therapy can be used on its own or in combination with other treatments like medications, physical therapy, or surgery recovery.
