Pain Management
Unfortunately, pain is something that our companion animals can experience. Whether is at an acute episode of pain, or a chronic issue, the Animal Hospital of Treasure Island is here to help.
Recognizing and alleviating pain in our patients is the core of quality and compassionate patient care. We can help you to understand signs of pain in your pet so we can modify his or her treatment plan.
Options for pain management include injectable and oral pain medications, cold laser (or photobiomodulation) therapy, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), and CBD oil and other supplements.
Please see our Integrative Medicine service section for more information on TCVM which includes acupuncture.
Cold Laser Therapy or Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) not only helps relieve pain, but is a safe, non-invasive way to speed up healing as well. It uses specific wavelengths of light to speed up the body’s natural healing process. PBMT increases blood circulation, which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the area of treatment as well as speeds up the elimination of waste products and toxins.
