High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT) is an innovative and painless treatment method that speeds up the body’s natural recovery process. This therapy is becoming increasingly popular in horses because of its effectiveness in treating wounds and injuries, inflammation and pain, and promoting faster recovery.
The HPLT laser emits concentrated light energy (photons) that penetrates deep into the tissue. This light stimulates cells at the cellular level and activates biological processes in the body. HPLT laser therapy is a photochemical therapy similar to photosynthesis in plants. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a thermal therapy; heat plays no role in the treatment process.
At ReHorse, we use HPLT laser therapy with a choice of wavelengths, also known as:
Ideal for treating bacterial infections, wound healing and acute inflammation.
Available in two wavelengths, this light is absorbed deep into the body and stimulates the production of ATP (the energy source of cells). This accelerates tissue repair and promotes healing.
There are thousands of scientific studies confirming the effectiveness of red light, especially in improving cell functions and tissue repair.
HPLT laser therapy is effective in treating a wide range of conditions in horses, including:
Suitable for sensitive, stressed horses
Significantly reduces recovery time after injuries.
It prompts the body itself to speed up the healing process.
Works for both acute and chronic conditions.
