"We have been using the MLS laser from Celtic SMR in our clinic for a couple of years now. We have mainly used it to aid the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, back pain and ACL injuries. The most visible and dramatic results have come where we have used the laser to treat non-healing or slow healing open wounds. A dog had an ulcer on a pad for over 4 months, resisting all attempts to get it to heal. After three sessions with the MLS laser, the pad was healed.

We have had clients from other practices seek us out in order to receive treatment, and almost all clients who have started their pets on the treatment are very happy to keep booking repeat appointments. Over time this is likely to create an accumulating mass of business."

"We purchased our MLS laser from Celtic SMR over 18 months ago and have been amazed at the results we have had, in particular when treating wounds and as an aid to speeding up fracture healing. Our clients have also been very impressed with the results and, as they can see the improvement for themselves, are more than happy to come back for repeat treatments when required. The after sales support from Celtic SMR has also been excellent."

Miss Sarah Goodsall BVSc MRCVS, Practice Director, Oakville Veterinary Surgery

“Since we have purchased the MLS Laser from Celtic SMR we have seen excellent results in a range of conditions, with over 90% of patients seeing a substantial improvement. The equipment is easy to use, with the standard protocols being very effective. Celtic SMR have been extremely helpful with both the theory, allowing us to sell the service to clients, and practical training.”

“Over the years my 13 year old dog Max has become very lame with arthritis. Unfortunately he has developed problems with his back & right shoulder and had become very lame. We had started to wonder if we were being fair to keep him going when he was clearly not enjoying life.

The day after Max's first treatment, much to our surprise, the lameness in his right shoulder had gone. We and the family are so impressed with the results of these sessions & can't quite believe how much Max is enjoying his life & his walks again. We are delighted that we can give Max a happy, comfortable old age.”

Robert Baker, Owner of Max

“We have twin collie/spaniel crosses who, at 10 years old, now both seemed to suffer from mobility issues. Sarah’s issues were general – front leg, shoulder, both hips and knees. I was told about the new laser clinic at Coastway vets and went to enquire whether that could benefit Sarah.

We started with twice weekly treatments of around 45 minutes each session. The difference in her mobility was noticeable after the second session. After the first couple of treatments she was more fluid in movement, her shoulder was more balanced, she was not walking flat footed and her hips had a slight wiggle again. We are now down to reduced frequency sessions and the improvement continues. Her neck is freer, her shoulder almost back to normal, her hips and knees no longer make loud creaking noises when they move. I would thoroughly recommend this form of treatment as being an efficient, professional and affordable therapy.”

Dr Les Ellam, Owner of Sarah

“The addition of laser clinics within our practice has been met with much enthusiasm from our clients. The ease of use, coupled with fantastic hands on training and support from Celtic SMR has meant that the clinics have been easy to set up and run. Both clients and staff are amazed at the results! It has made a great difference to many families who can see a significant difference in the well being of their beloved pet!”

''My 17 year old cat Jasmine has suffered from arthritis in her hips, shoulders and elbows for several years now. It had come to a point where I was questioning her quality of life as although she was on long term NSAID's and joint supplements she was getting increasingly more lame. She would struggle to jump up onto furniture and to get down the stairs. Fernando started using Laser Therapy on her and after about 4 weeks I have already noticed a difference. Jasmine seems much more comfortable coming down the stairs and jumping up onto the sofa is no problem now. I have also managed to decrease the amount of medication which I have to give her which is only a good thing considering her age. During the actual therapy sessions jasmine is relaxed and sometimes falls asleep, as a usually nervous cat I can only assume that she feels some immediate relief and calmly waits for the session to finish.

I am very glad that this option was available as it has improved Jasmines quality of life and mine.''

''We have had a great response from arthritic patients to patients with acute muscle/tendon injuries. It is also used in the aid of helping wounds to heal. A very clever piece of equipment!!

And because Helen is so passionate, not only about her practice and ensuring the best care is available to your pets, but about learning new advances within the veterinary field, she is able to offer this type of treatment when there are not many practices locally offering this.''
