Equine Laser Therapy Overview

BG White HorseConventional Lasertherapy has been in use for more than 25 years. More than 2000 scientific publications test its effectiveness and the validity of this approach. It has been demonstrated that it is not toxic and it has no side effects. Today it is used as a monotherapy of as a complementary therapy. Until now, the challenge with Laser therapy has been its inability to treat deep seated pathologies, since it is used with low to medium power.

Today, thanks to the revolutionary patented HILT Technology, it is possible to treat deeper disorders, since HILT features the power and the energy which are necessary to treat all deep seated inflammatory conditions, and not only the superficial disorders. HILT is not toxic and can be performed without damaging the surrounding tissues pathology.

HILT therefore is the sole therapeutic method which allows to treat safely all the inflammatory states, also if located in depth, inducing – since the very first application – a strong reduction of pain, together with the recovery of mobility. This beneficial effect can last from 4 to 72 hours after the first application. After some sessions, the complete disappearance of pain and the complete mobility recovery can be achieved.

HILT is revolutionizing the therapeutic approach of equine veterinarians, orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and sport medicine experts.
