Hoof Pain & Bruising

Support recovery from the ground up

The hoof carries the horse’s entire body weight and absorbs significant forces during movement.

Hoof bruising and other sources of hoof pain can make a horse uncomfortable and may significantly affect its movement and performance. The AEL IR 4400 can be used as part of a management program to support tissues affected by hoof soreness, bruising and inflammation. Therapeutic laser energy assists cellular activity and circulation in the treated area while supporting the body’s natural recovery processes. Treatment can be particularly useful when incorporated alongside appropriate hoof care, farriery and veterinary assessment. The laser provides a non-invasive approach that can be incorporated into a broader program aimed at restoring comfort and normal movement. Identifying and addressing the underlying cause of hoof pain remains important, with laser therapy serving as a complementary treatment.
