SCIENCE BASED TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH PROVEN RESULTS

LED light therapy is really a way to help the body heal itself. Specific wavelengths of light are used that are absorbed by a photo acceptor, cytochrome c oxidase within the mitochondria of the cell. The energy (photons) from the lights increases the energy within the cell and that speeds up the healing process. The lights must be specific wavelengths and must be delivered at a specific dosage. Two wavelengths are used in the light therapy pads, a visible red and a near infrared wavelength. Using both red and near infrared lights is beneficial because the wavelengths are absorbed by different depths of tissue. The combination of the two works in concert to provide benefits for soft tissue injuries, inflammation, ligament soreness, tendon problems, sore backs, splints, strains, stifle issues, sprains, swelling, shoulder pain, hip pain, sore backs, sore necks, salivary gland problems, wounds, cuts, scrapes, arthritis pain and for trigger points and acupuncture points. Visible red light (660nm) is absorbed by skin layers very efficiently and is best for uses such as stimulating trigger and acupuncture points and for treating wounds and infections. Near infrared light (880nm) penetrates to a deeper level has been used to treat concerns of tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, and muscle.

NOW WHY SHOULD YOU USE IT?

Many studies have reported great results with LED therapy for the following equine, canine, and feline concerns:

• General : Arthritis pain, bursitis, bruising, burns, edema, deep muscle problems, hematomas, inflammation, tight or sore muscles and infections.
• Hoof Problems : Abscesses, bone spurs, inflammation, navicular, ringbone, and laminitis.
• Leg and Body : Ankle problems, bone chips, hock problems, inflammation, ligament soreness, tendon problems, sore backs, splints, strains, stifle issues, sprains, swelling, shoulder pain, hip pain, sore backs, sore necks, salivary gland problems, wounds, cuts, scrapes and for stimulating trigger points and acupuncture points.

AGAIN, WHAT DOES IT DO?

• Increased circulation by the formation of new capillaries
• Significant increases in wound healing with less formation of scar tissue
• Reduction in edema
• Helps reduce inflammation which helps reduce pain
• Helps increase range of motion
• Helps improve immune cell production
• Relaxation of muscles
• Stimulation of collagen production
• Relief of minor aches and pains
• Increases RNA and DNA synthesis
• Stimulation of trigger and acupuncture points

HOW DOES IT WORK AND WHY?

Many impressive studies have been found that included the following:

• The LEDs at specific wavelengths are reported to increase circulation by increasing the formation of new capillaries. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing, and they can also carry more waste products away.
• Collagen is the most common protein found in the body and the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. Studies cite that LEDs stimulate the production of collagen. It has been reported that by increasing collagen production, less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site.
• LED therapy is reported to stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells and provides the chemical energy that drives the chemical reaction of the cell. Increases in ATP allow cells to use nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell.
• Increases lymphatic system activity. Edema has two basic components, liquid and protein. Research has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy. This means that both parts of edema can be eliminated at a much faster rate to relieving swelling.
• Reduces the excitability of nervous tissue. The light energy stimulates the release of endorphins which are the body's own long term pain fighting chemicals.
• Increases RNA and DNA synthesis which helps damaged cells to be replaced more quickly.
• Increases the process of scavenging for and ingesting dead or degenerated cell by phagocyte cells for the purpose of clean up. This is an important part of the infection fighting process. Destruction of the infection and clean up must occur before the healing process can take place.
• Stimulates fibroblastic activity that aids in the repair process. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are capable of forming collagen fibers.
• Stimulates tissue granulation and connective tissue projections, part of the healing process.
• Stimulates trigger and acupuncture points.
• Helps relax muscles.

TREATMENT TIME

Treatment time is only 15 minutes per area with "Gospel’s" Equine-Canine Light Therapy pad!

ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?

There have been no reports of adverse side effects regarding LED therapy. It is repeatedly reported that when the cell is "reenergized" it accepts no more energy, so you cannot cause harm and it is reported to have no effect on healthy tissue. The body will not absorb what it cannot use. Caution is urged for those taking photosensitive drugs.
