Horses, while large in stature, are very delicate. It does not take much for them to get injured or get sick. For years, Roanchar Ranch Draft Horse Rescue has been using red light therapy to help residents heal after an injury or sickness.
For example, when Louie severely cut himself trying to jump a gate it was used. By treating him every day, we were able to reduce the swelling and pain. Now, you can barely see the 18-inch scar on his leg. Today, we use it on Abe to increase his mobility because of the effects of Lyme disease.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses light wavelengths to stimulate cells. The increase in the blood flow makes it possible for oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells, enabling them to function properly and effectively. This results in tissue repair and regeneration, a reduction in pain and inflammation, and clears out dead or degenerated cells.
