PHOTOBIOMODULATION / LLLT - THERAPEUTIC LASER THERAPY and LASER ACUPUNCTURE is based on scientific research by NASA and several universities:
This is the direct application of light to stimulate
cell responses (photobiomodulation) to promote
tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and induce analgesia.
Laser Therapy can accelerate healing and improve the repair, regeneration and remodeling of tissue in the horse. Some benefits of laser therapy are decreased inflammation and decreased pain, increased wound healing, increased tensile strength of tendon/ligament and a faster return to function.
This is what the FEI is saying in their rule book, page 51 and 52 about laser therapy:
Non-restricted Therapies include:
c) laser therapy using lasers of classes I to IIIB
Has your horse just had a surgery / injury and would like to speed up healing?
Does your horse have any scars that are bothersome in function or for a showing mount, visually bothering?
Are any areas of inflammation present?
Laser Therapy and Equine Laser
Low Level Laser Therapy, known as both LLLT for short and also sometimes Cold Laser Therapy, continues to become a popular mode of treatment among veterinary chiropractors and alternative vet medicals due to its high success rate when used for treatment. The rapid healing properties of laser therapy are being appreciated by Veterinarians as well as other practitioners in order to assist with treating injured animals.
Laser therapy for example is used to treat acupuncture points safely and effectively. Large muscle groups as found in musculoskeletal injuries are also ideally treated through laser therapy.
Is Laser safe? The light from a low level laser (cold laser) is absorbed by healthy cells and does not trigger a change. The light only interacts with damaged cells so there is no way to cause injury. Class 1, 2, and 3 lasers are safe for home use. Class 4 lasers have the potential for damage if used improperly and are typically reserved for in office medical use.
Why Laser Therapy?
The Results: Based on the results driven from studies focusing on cellular perspective, LLLT can decrease the incidence of inflammation and pain. This appears to be related to how the body perceives and responds to the cortisol hormone, the pain messenger. In the face of treating causal injury, laser therapy works by stimulating the regeneration of damaged tissue.
Encouraging more rapid repair and recovery rate LLLT looks like a most viable and worthwhile form of treatment in any veterinary practice. So what physiological changes take place when LLLT is administered? The distinctive effects of laser therapy have been known to include but are not limited to:
This healing modality is greatly enhanced as Susanne uses it combined with acupressure points LASER ACUPUNCTURE.
