Elevating Equine Health with High-Powered LED-Based LLLT System
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM) or Light Therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific light wavelengths to promote cell repair, reduce pain, speed up healing, and improve blood flow.
The LED by CHEVAL LLLT system uses high-powered LED lights in four specific wavelengths: 660/670, 730, 810, and 850 nm. We choose these wavelengths based on scientific research as they are proven to be most effective for the body.
Enhanced Healing for Injuries
This treatment not only expedites the healing process but also minimizes inflammation and inflammatory cell presence. For tendon injuries, the light boosts healing by promoting MMP activity and collagen synthesis. The red light possesses antibacterial properties, safeguarding wounds against infection.
Pre- and Post-Training Benefits
When incorporated into your daily routine before or after training sessions, this system will help your horse perform and recover more effectively. It diminishes stiffness and tension, improves mobility, and boosts blood circulation, resulting in a more efficient warm-up and a more agile horse. Furthermore, it reduces recovery time and mitigates the risk of injuries and overexertion.
Red and infrared wavelengths
Red and infrared wavelengths form a spectrum of light with profound therapeutic potential. Scientifically validated, these wavelengths effectively stimulate cellular activity, improve healing, and offer a wide array of health benefits. In the context of equines, harnessing the power of red and infrared light presents opportunities for enhancing their health and optimizing performance and recovery.
No blue light
Blue light possesses antibacterial effects, like red light. However, we don’t use blue light because it’s outside the optical window and can barely penetrate the skin. More importantly, blue light can be damaging, and some studies even show evidence of bacteria resistance development from repeated usage of blue light.
The optical window
Lights within the optical window are the wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum proven in scientific research to have the best positive impact on the body. Therefore, we only use lights within this window.
LED VS Laser
The difference between LED and Laser lies in the light lens. The LED lens delivers a broad spectrum of light. This light is non-coherent, which means it’s not narrow-focused. A Laser lens produces coherent and monochromatic light, meaning it’s a focused, more concentrated light than LED light.
Recent research indicates that LED therapy can achieve similar results to Laser therapy. Nonetheless, due to the coherent nature of laser light, it carries higher associated risks and typically necessitates the expertise of a trained professional for safe and effective usage. LED by CHEVAL on the other hand, is safe to use by yourself.
How it works
Life itself requires a constant supply of energy, and in the body, this energy is harnessed and transformed into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) within the mitochondria – the so-called ‘powerhouses’ of the cell. By engaging in physical exercise, we can stimulate the growth and proliferation of mitochondria, leading to a corresponding increase in ATP production. This phenomenon underpins the many benefits of regular physical activity, including enhanced strength, improved vitality, and a more robust overall health profile.
Moreover, research has revealed that optimizing the performance of mitochondria is indeed possible. By leveraging the properties of light energy, one can trigger a chemical reaction within the cell that promotes the synthesis of ATP within the mitochondria. The implications of this discovery are far-reaching, with implications for improving athletic performance, enhancing overall well-being, and potentially even combating certain diseases and medical conditions.
