| We use laser therapy on our horses, it's a 2 piece "box" type of thing. It's a human one but it works great for our horses. We use it for muscle soreness mainly and have had good results with it. We have even used it if a horse was running late on hock injections with great results. They start to lick their lips and fall asleep and you can tell they really like it. |

| Red light therapy has been used for YEARS to increase healing of deep tissue. This has been proven in different species. Here's one of my favorite articles. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10103-008-0607-6
The take home - rats with Achilles tendon tears had quicker healing times when compared with a peer group that was untreated with red light.
HOWEVER, lasers do jack squat. Please know what you are buying and what wavelength the LED's are set to. Not all are created equal. |

| The unit we have doesn't have a name or any thing on it.... But the link below looks like the one we have. I've used it on myself with good results. And yes I meant red light therapy :) we just call them "lasers" at home and it's stuck with me! We put this on for about 10-15 minutes where ever the horse is sore (the stand comes apart to just give you the 2 lights). My mom originally bought it for herself then the horses took it over :)

| My vet has one of the light therapy pads. My mare loved it. Was licking and chewing and then actually dozed off. |

Location: South Central Florida | I own 1 of each. I have a CEFCO Light machine, and a Respond Laser. I use them for different things. The Laser was much more expensive and if I could only one 1, it would probably the Laser. The CEFCO may actually be better at surface wounds...cuts, scrapes things like that but the Laser is much better for deeper effect, joints and muscles. I had a knee replacement in August and I've been using the Respond Laser for healing, helping with scar tissue and pain relief and although immediately I don't always feel a tremendous difference, I can chart the days after therapy and how much better the swelling was, and soreness and pain. |
