Therapeutic Laser Therapy

At Stable Close Equine Practice, we offer therapeutic laser treatment using our portable, high-powered Class 4 laser. This advanced, non-invasive technology allows us to deliver targeted energy to tissues to promote healing and reduce discomfort in a wide range of conditions.

Laser therapy works by directing specific wavelengths of infrared light into the affected tissues. The light interacts with cells to increase cellular energy and metabolism, producing multiple beneficial effects:

Reduction of inflammation and swelling

Alleviation of pain

Increased blood flow, creating an optimal environment for healing

Enhanced tissue regeneration

We commonly use therapeutic laser for:

Tendon and ligament injuries
Muscle strains and joint pain
Arthritis and degenerative conditions
Skin wounds and superficial infections
Supporting post-surgical healing

Our Class 4 laser penetrates deeper tissues and larger treatment areas more efficiently than lower-powered devices, making it exceptionally well tolerated by horses. Treatment courses are tailored to each patient and condition, varying in intensity and duration depending on the type and severity of the injury.

The portability of our battery powered laser allows treatments to be carried out at your yard, providing convenience while maintaining high quality care. Laser therapy is a valuable addition to our treatment options, helping horses recover more quickly.
