Kentwood Cat Clinic and Cat Clinic North announced that the cat
clinics are now offering therapeutic laser services. The cat care
centers now have new laser equipment for performing non-invasive
procedures, including treatments for arthritis, soft tissue injuries,
and tendonitis. According to Dr. Sadek, the cat veterinarian, companion
laser therapy can improve cat health by stimulating internal healing,
reducing inflammation and providing pain relief following an injury
without the need for surgery.
"We are excited to offer our pet owners the option to choose
therapeutic laser treatments for their cats," said Dr. Sadek.
"Companion animal laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that
naturally helps relieve pain and help injuries heal without the need
for surgery or medication."
Class IV laser is FDA-approved for treating arthritis, wounds,
traumatic injuries and inflammation in cats. According to Dr. Sadek,
the treatment may also help with disorders such as skin granulomas as
well as cystitis, ear infections, stomatitis and lacerations.
A Class IV laser works by emitting a concentrated beam of
non-thermal photons. According to Dr. Sadek, these photons penetrate
through a cat's fur and skin, reaching injured cells within the body.
The injured cells utilize light energy from the photons to heal. Laser
treatments may also help stimulate the flow of oxygenated blood through
a cat's body, which is essential for healing. Dr. Sadek said that
endorphin levels also increase, which helps to relieve any pain the cat
may be experiencing.
"Laser therapy is a cutting edge treatment that is truly changing
the face of veterinary medicine," said Dr. Sadek. "As a non-invasive
procedure, there is virtually no recovery time involved following a
treatment. And unlike surgical procedures, our feline patients
experience no pain and do not need anesthesia or other medication.
Whenever possible, we strongly recommend laser therapy as an
alternative to traditional cat surgery."
Dr. Sadek and her Grand Rapids veterinary care team are specially
trained in the use of Class IV lasers. A treatment session lasts
approximately five minutes. According to Dr. Sadek,8Gb Spy watch
