Animals, like humans, have a natural repair system that causes damage to heal themselves sooner or later. The problem is that it can often take a long time, and it can be associated with major inconveniences during the healing process.
Fortunately, there is help available with a therapeutic veterinary laser at an affordable price. PowerLasers are powerful, handheld lasers that are suitable for use in the clinic, in the stable or on the go.
With concentrated laser energy, a PowerLaser accelerates the body's natural healing process - in the outer layers of the skin or deep into the tissue.

The effect of laser treatment on dogs, cats and other small animals is faster healing, pain relief, increased blood circulation and reduced swelling.
With a PowerLaser you process e.g. a wound on a dog or cat in less than 5 minutes, thus faster healing significantly and reduced the risk of complications.
Also use the laser postoperatively to ensure that surgical wounds heal faster, thus reducing the risk of complications.
Laser also has an effect on inflammatory conditions, which means that you can choose laser treatment as a supplement in many different treatment courses.

Treatment in minutes
With a PowerLaser, you can effectively treat injuries to small animals in a matter of minutes. Injuries such as:

• Tendon injuries
• Joint injuries
• Muscle injuries
• Wounds and inflammatory conditions
• Skin problems
• Ear problems
Arthritis
• Gingivitis and periodontitis

The laser energy from PowerLaser affects the cells and releases a large number of substances in the body, which, among other things, causes the tissue to heal faster after wounds and injuries. PowerLaser can also be used postoperatively, so that the healing process is accelerated and the risk of complications is reduced.

Painless treatment plan
The treatment is completely painless and is performed on the animal without anesthesia. Virtually all dogs, cats and horses quickly get used to the treatment, it is often clear that the animals relax during the laser treatment.
See e.g. the video here where a cat is treated for intestinal inflammation.

The effect of laser therapy accumulates, and the patient therefore usually requires more treatments, although improvements in the condition can be detected immediately after the first visit. An optimal treatment plan usually extends over 6-8 times divided into 2-3 times a week.
If a hall e.g. has been wrong on a horse, then the subsequent pain can lie deep in the horse's muscles and can be treated with laser instead of, or in addition to, traditional massage.

In the video here you can see how easy it is to treat a dog with a PowerLaser.

All lasers in the PowerMedics PowerLaser series are suitable for treating animals. If you are traveling with the laser, it is recommended that you store it in a specially designed molded foam case so that the laser is protected.

Laser treatment of horses.

The treatment method is increasingly used all over the world by veterinarians who want to shorten the injury or illness period for horses.

Various horse dealers such as Horse Physiotherapists and Horse Massage Therapists as well as private horse owners often use lasers for relaxation and pain relief, as well as other treatment according to the veterinarian.

Like humans, there are different indications for laser treatment. Below you can see selected treatments.

Tendon injuries in horses

Tendon injuries, such as injuries to fork ligaments and other injuries to stretch and flexor tendons, occur relatively often in horses.

This type of injury most often occurs when the horse is injured, overloaded or by another illness. Your veterinarian usually diagnoses tendon injuries using an ultrasound scan.

Inflammation and inflammation of the tendons are typical indications for laser therapy.

The horse's deep bending tendons are treated with laser

Laser treatment increases blood flow to the tendons and regulates the inflammation process, so that the horse's own natural healing process is accelerated.

Swelling is reduced and the horse will typically also experience less pain after the laser treatment. Ie. the symptoms associated with inflammation are reduced.

The picture here shows an example of laser treatment of an Icelander's deep bends.

Horse with back problems

All pain in the back region by e.g. muscle tension and pain e.g. from incorrectly adjusted seat or leg change, primarily causing stiffness in the back and and other symptoms in the back.

Note that similar symptoms such as muscle stiffness and pain are also seen as secondary symptoms of lameness on one or more legs. Here, attempts to treat the back problem will be without effect before the primary problem is solved, and that is why a thorough examination must be recommended.

The horse is treated with laser on the lower back

Low back problems that lead to impaired performance of the horse are very common. And these problems can be in the bones and / or in the horse's muscles.

Horses with back pain often benefit from laser therapy because the laser relieves pain and stimulates the natural healing after e.g. muscle injuries.

At muscle tensions, the laser loosens, the blood supply is stimulated and the muscles find it easier to get rid of waste products.

The picture shows a horse treated on the lower back with a PowerLaser Basic1500.

Wound treatment on horseback

Laser is especially suitable for treating wounds. Laser increases blood flow and promotes the wound healing process. A faster healing of wounds helps to reduce the risk of complications and also reduces the amount of scar tissue.

In general, it can also be said that the faster a wound on the horse closes, the less the risk of infections, which further complicates the injury.

Wound treatment was also one of the earliest indications of laser therapy, which was accidentally discovered in connection with animal experiments.
Horses sooner or later get injuries and wounds in the garden or in training situations.

By using laser therapy, it is clear that the healing is accelerated significantly and that the course of the disease is shortened.

For professional riders, trainers and breeders, it can often be crucial that the horse is back in training as soon as possible so that the horse does not miss competitions or competitions.

hoof problem

Thrush
Thrush is a decay of the horn in the hoof. It occurs when the horse is very damp in the stable or board. It can be kept away by continuously making sure the hooves are clean and dry.

Of course, the horse can still be unlucky and get Thrush, but then you can often keep it in check by treating with laser.

Of course, you still need to keep the hoof clean and dry.

We have seen examples of Sur Stråle disappearing in a few days.

The picture here shows the treatment of an Icelander with a beam, the laser is a PowerLaser 1500.

Choice of laser for treatment of horses

Which laser to choose for treating horses? Many people think that you need a device in the class NOK 100,000 to help your horse with laser therapy, but it is not necessary at all.

And

You must have a laser that is powerful enough to treat the horse's muscles, and one that can be attenuated at the same time to also treat wounds and extra tendons with inflammation.

With a laser in class 3B, you are sure to get a laser that is biostimulating and intended for therapeutic treatment, and with which you do not risk injuring the horse.

We recommend a PowerLaser Basic1500 or PowerLaser Pro1500 for horse care.
