⭐️⭐️Laser Therapy is a game changer⭐️⭐️
A non-invasive, rapid way to decrease inflammation, accelerate healing and alleviate pain.

Suspensory ligament injuries are often considered career ending in performance equine athletes, this is no longer the case.

Class IV lasers significantly improve short and long-term healing of tendon and ligament lesions, creating an exciting option for treating soft tissue injuries.

This is a non-invasive way to treat these injuries, accelerate healing and prevent scar tissue which weakens the ligament and leaves it susceptible to re-injury.
Because it accelerates healing it means less time rehabbing for these equine athletes.

Clinical and scientific results of high powered lasers include:

✨️Repair of ligament and tendon lesions
✨️Reduces scar tissue within and around injuries
✨️Reduces inflammation
✨️Increases collagen production
✨️Increases blood circulation to bring nutrients to the site
✨️Realigns muscle fibers for stronger healing
✨️Provides analgesia (Reduces pain)
✨️Enhances tissue oxygenation
✨️Increases cell proliferation (generates more. cellular energy)

Regenerative Laser Therapy has successfully treated injuries to structures such as:

✨️Cartilage/bone/joints
-Neck and poll, stifles, TMJ, hocks, fetlocks
✨️Sore feet and laminitis
✨️Sore muscles (especially back and glutes)
✨️Suspensory ligaments and branches
✨️Superficial flexor tendons
✨️Deep digital flexor tendon and it's insertion inside the hoof
✨️Inferior and superior check ligaments
✨️Collateral ligaments
✨️Scar tissue
✨️Open wounds and punctures
✨️Post-operative incisions
✨️Sacroiliac joint and kissing spine

Class IV Laser Therapy on wounds is pretty amazing stuff, no more waiting for months in the paddock for them to heal🐎❤️
Accelerates healing, removes inflammation, instant pain relief.

As we all know the basic nature of horses as in the "flight response" increases the risk of traumatic injuries. Their basic instinct is to flee, often with no regard as to what part of their anatomy is trapped or in close proximity with a sharp object.
Proper care of these wounds is a long-term labour-intensive, and sometimes very frustrating activity.
The application of Laser Therapy accelerates the healing process and restoration of tissue.

Loved meeting this gorgeous big boy in Ocala ❤️🐴🐎 he made me feel like a midget
He had laser therapy over his Sacroiliac region, neck and withers due to being sore from competing

Working alongside Aligned Veterinary Services at some of the top thoroughbred and Equestrian stables in Ocala, Florida has been nothing short of amazing.
Laser Therapy has been an important part of their pre-race, post race, pre-competition and post competition preparation for quite some time 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎🐎

After finishing a day working on some amazing horses we went to the World Equestrian Centre in Ocala.
l can easily say this is by far one of the most impressive places l have ever visited ❤️🐴🐎

06/06/2023

Made it to Ocala Florida, the horse capital of world 🌎 🐴🐎about to start our first day learning new techniques to bring back and treat your amazing horses with.....lots of excitement, Education is key
Together with Auckland Equine Laser

Equine laser therapy is an option to include in treatment plans that helps speed up recovery time, reduce pain and inflammation, and reduce the formation of scar tissue. Laser Therapy devices use red and near-infrared light wavelength readily absorbed by skin, soft tissue, and bone that naturally increase cellular energy production. Laser Therapy treatments help improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, allowing faster resolution of painful inflammation.

EQUINE INJURIES TREATABLE WITH LASER THERAPY
Laser therapy can be used as part of a treatment plan to increase recovery time and reduce the severity of chronic issues in equine athletes, including:

* Tendon and ligament injuries
* Laminitis
* Inflammation around fractures
* Osteoarthritis
* External wound healing

TENDON & LIGAMENT INJURIES

A single misstep easily sustains damage to the tendons and ligaments in a horses limbs, but the road to recovery can be long. One major issue with soft tissue injuries is scar tissue formation, which is weaker and more prone to breakage than normal tissue. Laser therapy has been shown to boost collagen production, a major component in soft tissues that make up tendons and ligaments. Additionally, collagen alignment is improved by laser therapy treatments, leading to stronger tendons and lowering development of scar tissue and chances for re-injury.

I will be adding additional posts over the coming days explaining how laser can help with the other conditions listed 🐴🐴

Awesome post by Massey University Equine Veterinary Clinic showing how they perform equine distal limb CT scans!
This is an excellent way to diagnose the cause of your horses lameness and eliminates any guess work.

Laser therapy produces fantastic results for treating equine lameness, we can work alongside your veterinarian to resolve the issue.

Did you ever wonder how we perform our equine distal limb CT scans?..One leg at a time

It is a team effort, with collaboration between Massey University’s anaesthesia, radiology and equine departments. Not to forget our amazing referring veterinarians who are vital to it all!

The distal limb is a common area of interest for equine lameness. A computed tomography (CT) scan captures hundreds of radiographic ‘slices’ per limb. These are then sandwiched together to produce a comprehensive 3D image. In combination with contrast administration, we can pick up subtle changes in the soft tissue structures, blood vessels, joints and bones that are elusive to radiography or ultrasonography.

Watch video below to see how the same Laser helped a horse named Rio in America.

Patient: Rio, 26 year old American Quarter Horse Gelding.
Patient Symptoms: Severe bursitis and osteoarthritis of the elbow
Medical History: 2 IA injections of steroid + Hyaluronic Acid, systemic NSAIDS's and chiropractic, joint support supplement in feed - No improvement noted.
(All treatments tried over a period of 8-12 weeks)
Owner elected Laser Therapy as a last resort effort prior to euthanasia

See how Rio, a 26-year-old American Quarter Horse Gelding suffering from severe bursitis and osteoarthritis of the elbow is rehabilitated and avoids euthanas...

We are excited to announce that we are now offering the latest technology Class IV Equine Laser Therapy on the Mornington Peninsula.

What is Laser Therapy? Also known as PBMT (Photobiomodulation)

Laser stimulates a photo biochemical cascade at a cellular level to reduce pain / inflammation and increase micro circulation.

PBMT shortens each of the 4 stages of inflammatory reaction.

Equine Laser Therapy will help to:

* Minimise the use of drugs
*Prolong the life of the Athletic Horse.
*Provide an edge for superior performance.
*Increase collagen production.
*Accelerate tissue repair and cell growth.
*Accelerate wound healing.
