By delivering light energy deep into tissues, laser therapy can help:

• Relieve pain and reduce inflammation
• Stimulate the immune system
• Promote wound healing and tissue regeneration
• Support recovery in both acute injuries and long-term conditions

🔬 How Laser Therapy Works

Laser therapy works through a process called photobiomodulation, where light energy is absorbed by cells and converted into usable energy (ATP). This increase in cellular energy encourages faster repair, improved circulation, and reduced inflammation.

Key effects of laser therapy include:

• Accelerating the speed, quality, and strength of tissue repair
• Providing pain relief for both acute and chronic issues
• Reducing swelling and inflammation
• Supporting nerve healing and function
• Minimising and remodelling scar tissue
• Relaxing muscle spasms and reducing trigger points
• Enhancing blood flow to aid recovery

🐴🐾 Conditions That May Benefit from Laser Therapy

• Osteoarthritis & degenerative joint disease
• Muscle strains, sprains, or tears
• Wound healing (including post-surgery)
• Back or spinal conditions
• Laminitis (horses)
• Fractures
• Lick granulomas (dogs)
• Trigger points and muscle spasms
• Pain management for chronic conditions
• Recovery after surgery (including cases with metal implants)

💆 What to Expect During a Session

Most horses and dogs find laser therapy relaxing — the only sensation is a gentle, soothing warmth, and many animals even drift off to sleep during treatment.

Sessions typically last 5–10 minutes per treatment area, depending on the condition being addressed, the size of your animal, and their coat type. Many owners notice improvements within a few sessions, and sometimes even after the first treatment.
