The patented, FDA-approved LightMD™ system is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the horse’s own natural healing response to accelerate healing and injury recovery by almost 50% of standard prognosis. It uses flexible polymeric pads containing hundreds of solid-state superluminious diodes (SLDs) to produce intense soothing light in the red and near infrared wavelengths.
LightMD is superior to other light therapy systems in its ability to provide the different wavelengths optimized for an injured area, whether skin, tissue, muscle etc. The LightPads™ use a flexible connector between sets of SLDs offering superior flexibility in multiple directions and better contouring to the horse’s body.
Light Therapy, while useful on many equine conditions, has been particularly effective for sport horses on:
-
Injury prevention
-
Suspensory Injuries
-
Hoof health including laminitis
-
Lameness
-
Neck/back pain
-
Post-injury conditioning
