How You Can Improve and Shorten the Injury Recovery Process for Your Horse.

Tendon injuries in horses are common and affect equines worldwide, resulting from acute or chronic overloading. The recovery process alone is often long and unpredictable, and leading to weaknesses of the tendon and increasing the risk of re-injury.

The light therapy system significantly improves tendon repair – scientifically proven. The treatment shortens and improves the recovery process during all three injury phases: inflammatory, proliferation, and remodeling phase.

Tendon Healing

LLLT stimulates fibroblast activity, which plays a crucial role in collagen production. Collagen is a major component of tendons, and increased collagen production can aid in the healing of damaged tendon tissue. This effect is particularly beneficial for horses recovering from tendon injuries, as it expedites the tissue repair process.

Reduced Scar Tissue Formation

LLLT reduces the formation of excessive scar tissue during the healing process. Scar tissue can negatively impact the functionality of the tendon and the horse’s future performance. By promoting a more controlled healing response, LLLT  minimizes the development of unwanted scar tissue.

Pain Relief

In addition to promoting the healing process, LLLT helps manage pain and discomfort associated with tendon injuries. By increasing the release of endorphins and reducing inflammation, it provides relief to horses suffering from painful conditions.

Recommended treatment plan: We recommend a five-minute treatment 2-3 times a day until the tendon injury is healed and thereafter once a day to minimize the risk of the injury occurring again.

LLLT is beneficial for horses with muscle injuries by promoting healing, reducing pain, and improving overall muscle function.

Accelerated Muscle Healing

LLLT stimulates cellular activity and promotes the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for energy production in cells. This increased energy helps damaged muscle cells repair and regenerate more quickly, leading to faster recovery.

Reduced Muscle Inflammation

LLLT reduces inflammation in injured muscles by modulating the inflammatory response. This reduction in inflammation helps alleviate pain and discomfort in the affected area, as well as improve the healing process.

Pain Management

LLLT stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which provide pain relief for horses with muscle injuries. This is particularly important for improving the horse’s comfort and overall well-being during the healing process.

Improved Blood Circulation

LLLT enhances blood circulation in the affected muscle tissue. Increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the injured area, which supports the healing process and helps remove waste products.

Reduced Muscle Fibrosis

Fibrosis refers to the formation of scar tissue within muscle fibers. LLLT helps reduce the formation of excessive scar tissue, which improves the long-term flexibility and function of the injured muscle.

Enhanced Range of Motion

By promoting muscle healing and reducing inflammation and pain, LLLT leads to an improved range of motion in the affected muscle. This can be crucial for a horse’s performance and overall well-being.

Recommended treatment plan: We recommend up to 10-minute treatment 1-2 times a day until the muscle injury is healed and thereafter once a day to keep the muscle healthy.

LLLT is used to address joint inflammation in horses by promoting reduced inflammation, pain relief, and improved joint function.

Collagen Production

LLLT stimulates fibroblast activity in the joint area. Fibroblasts are cells responsible for collagen production. Increased collagen production is crucial for rebuilding and repairing joint tissues.

Cartilage Repair

LLLT stimulates chondrocyte activity in the joint. Chondrocytes are specialized cells found in cartilage that are responsible for maintaining and repairing the cartilage matrix. By enhancing chondrocyte activity, LLLT promotes the regeneration of healthy cartilage in joints affected by inflammation.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

LLLT reduces inflammation in the affected joint by modulating the inflammatory response. This helps alleviate swelling, redness, and discomfort associated with joint inflammation.

Pain Management

LLLT stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving compounds. This helps reduce pain and discomfort associated with joint inflammation, which improves the horse’s overall well-being and mobility.

Improved Blood Circulation

LLLT enhances blood flow in the affected joint area, leading to better delivery of oxygen and nutrients while aiding in the removal of metabolic waste products.

Recommended treatment plan: We recommend a five-minute treatment 2-3 times a day until the joint inflammation is gone and thereafter once a day to minimize the risk of the injury occurring again.

LLLT has specific effects that help reduce the inflammatory response and promote healing.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

LLLT has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the affected area. It does this by modulating the inflammatory response, which can result in a decrease in swelling, redness, and pain associated with inflammation.
