Low Level Laser Therapy works on the principle that every cell in the body responds to light, different cells being activated by different frequencies or different wave-lengths.  LLT is used to stimulate wound healing, tissue repair and also for pain relief.   For example in soft tissue injuries LLT rapidly increases the proliferation of growth factor cells.  Therefore it is widely used to accelerate tissue repair and mobilse chronic conditions. 

The laser assists healing by stimulating the production of collagen and blood vessels as well as activating various cells such as mast cells and macrophages involved in tissue repair and immune response.  It provides faster repair and pain relief for a wide range of conditions including sore backs, wounds, laminitis, galls, joint and tendon injuries.  Benefits include:

- faster healing
- increase in tensile strenght of repaired tissue
- reduction of scarring
- stimulation of immune system
- control of infection
- reduction of inflammation
- pain relief
- acupuncture point stimulation

Low Level Laser Therapy is a non-invasive drug free treatment and can even be used on the day of competition for human/equine athletes.
