What sort of things may I need Laser Treatments for?
This laser is a class 3b low level laser therapy unit .
Laser light acts directly on biological tissue at the cellular level and can therefore treat muscles,tendons,ligaments,connective tissue and even bone.Laser light stimulates cell growth and regeneration, increases tissue activity, boosts nerve function, reduces scar formation and inflammation.
Some specific applications include...
- Foot....fractured pedal bone, pedal osteitis and bruised sole.
- Pastern....fractures and ringbone.
- Fetlock...arthritis, chip fractures and sesamoiditis.
- Metacarpus.....shin soreness and splints.
- Bowed tendons and suspensory ligament sprain.

Tendon and suspensory injuries require accurate diagnosis before laser treament begins and a controlled rehabilitation exercise programme is put in place.
