It is possible that you have questions about laser therapy and how it might benefit your horse. Here's what you need to know.

Laser Therapy

What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses a laser to increase blood circulation in a specific part of the body. This procedure effectively speeds up the healing process. As a result, pain and inflammation decreases and helps your horse regain its athletic ability. Laser therapy can be a valuable component of horse care following an injury.

The Benefits of Laser Therapy

One of the major benefits of cold laser therapy is that it is non-invasive. This therapeutic technique is pain-free and even comfortable for the horse. Additionally, you do not have to expect a long recovery period for your horse like you would after a surgical procedure. When you are concerned with animal care, a short recovery time is highly beneficial to prevent infection.

Laser therapy is also beneficial for horses because it can be paired with other treatment modalities to provide effective care. Laser therapy can be used with shockwave therapy, PRP, IRAP, and stem cell therapy. When your horse has a tissue injury, combining several treatment options may be ideal for faster recovery.

Injuries Treated with Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy can treat a variety of issues commonly faced by horses, including:

  • Tendon injuries
  • Ligament injuries
  • Back disorders
  • Synovitis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Wounds

Even if your horse's injury is not on this list, laser therapy may still be beneficial to your animal. Laser therapy can assist with the treatment of many ailments and injuries faced by horses.
