Laser Therapy Not Just for Small Animals

The advent of Class IV lasers has made veterinary laser therapy a viable solution for small and large animals alike. The ability to deliver variable power from 0.25 Watts to 15 Watts gives you a therapeutic advantage when treating large animals.

Many practitioners who treat equine athletes are adopting laser therapy. Many Olympic competitors are using Class IV laser therapy not only as a post-competition recovery tool, but also as a warm up tool before competition. Trainers find that the horses that are treated before competition have looser muscles and are able to compete at their peak level of performance faster.
