Why We Like Spectra Therapy And What Is It?
Spectra Therapy is a wearable laser treatment that reduces edema & pain and also aids in the healing process for ligaments, tendons and wounds. The laser unit is small and can be applied in a variety of formats. We routinely use the laser units on our horses. We use standing wraps to keep legs clean and tight after hard work outs. We also use neck and poll wraps to keep muscle spasms and tension to a minimum - even our Massage Therapist and Chiropractor sees a difference. We've seen a big difference in the horses - if we have a sore area or area of concern we apply the laser and feel the lasers are key to keeping our horses at their peak condition.

you are interested in learning more about how we use Spectra Therapy. Laser units are available for purchase at a very reasonable
price in a variety of packages and are also available to rent if you'd
like to try one without committing to purchasing
A little bit more about lasers and clinical uses of Laser Therapy in the vet/equine market
Laser therapy is a most effective tool for improving circulation, reducing edema, infection and heal time. Spectra Therapy’s wearable IMPULSE LASER wrapTM system benefits are revolutionary for applying this technology. Laser Therapy is a time-density modality. Spectra Therapy has found that these treatments, when delivered every 4-6 hours for the first 48 hours after any trauma, provide the best response to restore metabolic balance, provide infection-free wound closure, as applicable, and minimizes edema. We have also discovered that simultaneous treatment of arteries, veins, tissues and meridians provide most effective therapeutic benefit to restore circulation. Examine for yourself the benefits and uses of laser therapy for these applications that have been proven in numerous clinical trials with positive results and no known side effects.
Anti-Inflammatory
Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect as it causes vasodilation, but it also activates the lymphatic drainage system (drains swollen areas). As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
Anti-Pain (Analgesic)
Laser therapy has a highly beneficial effect on nerve cells which block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity. Due to less inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. Another pain-blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain-killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephlins from the brain and adrenal gland. Stimulated cells also produce nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. Laser light increases the energy available to the cell so it can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. A result of exposure to light, the cells of tendons, ligaments and muscles repair faster.
Improved Vascular Activity
Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries that speed up the healing process, close wounds quickly and reduce scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilation and an increase in the diameter of blood vessels.
Increased Metabolic Activity
Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.
Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery.
Improved Nerve Function
Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light will speed up the process of nerve cell reconnection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.
Immunoregulation
Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulation of immunoglobines and lymphocytes. Chromophores (molecular enzymes) react to laser light. The enzyme Flavin mononucleotide starts the production of ATP (adenosine-tri-phosphate), which is the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.
Faster Wound Healing
Laser light stimulates the development of fibroblasts, the cells that manufacture collagen. Collagen is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, laser therapy is effective on open wounds and burns. Spectra’s Impulse LASERwrapTM, as prescribed by your vet, provides a very effective tool to restore your animal’s metabolic balance, improved circulation and reduced healing time with a minimum of labor time at the lowest cost.
