Support the tissues that keep your horse moving correctly
Ligaments stabilise joints and are particularly vulnerable to excessive loading, twisting and trauma.
Ligaments are important structures that stabilise joints and help control movement, making ligament injuries potentially significant for an athletic horse. The AEL IR 4400 can be incorporated into a rehabilitation program to support the body’s natural healing processes following ligament injury. Therapeutic laser energy promotes cellular activity and local circulation within the treated tissues. It also assists with the management of pain and inflammation during the recovery period. Because ligament injuries can vary considerably in severity, treatment should form part of a carefully controlled rehabilitation program. Used correctly alongside veterinary care and progressive exercise, laser therapy hel support the horse through its recovery and return to work.
