Safe, Non Invasive Treatment
Treating horses with laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment modality. Being a cold laser, the Laser 3000 does not generate heat. It is simply a matter of setting the correct dosage level (Joules) into the Laser 3000 and placing the probe onto the horse’s body.
Treatment Times Calculated
Depending upon the condition being treated, the treatment may last from a few minutes to 15 or more. The Laser 3000 automatically calculates the treatment time and an audible timer will count down the seconds until treatment is completed.
Healing times
The majority of horses will show an improvement in their condition after a few treatment sessions with a low level laser. Some show immediate improvements after the initial consultation and treatment. It may take several treatment sessions in order to see improvements in the health of the horse if a more chronic condition is present.
