Pet Laser Therapy & Pain Management
Our expert team at Riverside South Animal Hospital offers advanced pet laser therapy in Ottawa, ON, alongside comprehensive pet pain management services. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, living with arthritis, or struggling with inflammation, our treatments help improve comfort and quality of life.
What Is Pet Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate healing at the cellular level. The treatment reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and accelerates tissue repair — all without medication.
We use the Eclipse™ VLS laser system by OmniLase™, which is portable, safe, and effective with proven efficacy. Most sessions are performed in the exam room with the owner present, keeping pets calm and comfortable.
What to Expect During a Session:
Gentle application of therapeutic laser light to targeted areas
Treatments lasting just a few minutes, with no sedation required
No pain or side effects — many pets relax during sessions
A treatment plan tailored to your pet’s condition and response
Additional Pain Management Programs
- Weight management plans to reduce pressure on joints and improve mobility
- Non-prescription supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids and joint support products
- Prescription medications when stronger pain relief is required
- Comprehensive recovery protocols that combine medication, diet, and rehabilitation support
By addressing pain from multiple angles, we help pets live more comfortable lives and prevent chronic issues from progressing.
Why Pain Management Is Important
Pain can be subtle in animals. Stiffness, limping, changes in behaviour, or reluctance to play may all be signs your pet is suffering. Pain in animals is often subtle and can be easy to miss. In some cases, it may be more obvious. Signs such as stiffness, limping, changes in behaviour, or a reluctance to play can all indicate that your pet is experiencing discomfort. As veterinary health-care providers, we are trained to recognize even the subtle signs of pain in pets.
