Alright I know what you're thinking, what do lasers and horses have in common and why would I want one by my horses?! Well fear not, they are a lot safer than you think and have many beneficial uses for healing and helping your equine athlete perform at their peak! There are many laser systems out there to use, rent, and purchase but the prices vary greatly and not everyone has the need or availability and that's where we step in. We here at Han-Ney Equestrian Center use the
Respond Laser System which is one of the best systems on the market and has many versatile uses.
Although there are a few different names out there, LASER therapy stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Want me to speak English now? In simple terms, it just means there is a big, intense, highly focused beam of light that penetrate tissue and help promote healing and strengthening in many areas. We use a class B laser on horses here at the center because it is the safest for both human and animal and seems to work the best for our needs. The results have been astounding and horses that came in dead lame walked out the door sound!
You know how the only thing you can seem to remember from high school is "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" but even though you can rattle that off faster then your cell phone number, do you know what it means? When light from the laser enters the cell's mitochondria, it is absorbed and increases activity and ATP, ROS, and NO are affected to promote healing and cell regeneration. This may seem like scary, complicated stuff but in all reality it is a great tool for those horses suffering from a multitude of ailments. These can range from pain, inflammation, wounds, big scars, feet problems, and more. The possibilities are endless and treatment is non invasive on both your horse and pocketbook!
