Equine Laser Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation

High-power veterinary laser technology for equine rehabilitation, sports recovery, pain management and soft tissue care.

What is Equine Laser Therapy?

Equine laser therapy uses therapeutic laser energy as part of veterinary rehabilitation and sports medicine programs. High-power Class 4 laser systems can deliver controlled energy to larger anatomical areas and deeper tissues, supporting rehabilitation workflows for performance horses and other large animals.

Clinical Applications

Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Laser therapy can be incorporated into rehabilitation programs following selected soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries.

ain management programs for acute and chronic conditions.

Tendon & Ligament Rehabilitation

Used as an adjunct within veterinary rehabilitation protocols.

Muscle Recovery

For post-exercise recovery and rehabilitation programs.

Joint & Mobility Support

Can be integrated into multimodal approaches to mobility and musculoskeletal management.

Postoperative Rehabilitation

Supports rehabilitation workflows following selected surgical procedures.

Performance Horse Recovery

For racehorses, competition horses and sport horses.

Laser Technology

High-Power Multi-Wavelength Laser Technology for Equine Rehabilitation

Equine rehabilitation and sports medicine require flexible laser solutions that can treat large anatomical areas as well as specific treatment points.

GIGAA multi-wavelength laser platforms combine 5- and 6-wavelength configurations, high-power output, adjustable treatment areas and battery-powered mobility, providing flexible solutions for equine rehabilitation, sports medicine and performance recovery.

From point treatment to large-area coverage, superficial to deeper tissue applications, the system can be configured according to the treatment objective and anatomical area.

Up to 6 Wavelengths

405  / 635 / 810 / 915 / 980 / 1064 nm

Equine rehabilitation often involves different tissues, anatomical regions and treatment objectives. A multi-wavelength platform allows clinicians to select different wavelengths according to the desired tissue interaction and treatment strategy.

Independent Wavelength Control

Each wavelength can be controlled individually

High-Power Output

Designed for large-area equine treatment

Large animals require efficient treatment of extensive anatomical areas.

High-power laser output allows clinicians to deliver therapeutic energy efficiently over larger treatment areas while maintaining controlled treatment parameters.

This can be particularly useful for:

  • Large muscle groups
  • Tendons and ligaments
  • Joints
  • Back and spinal regions
  • Post-exercise recovery
  • Sports rehabilitation

Up to 100 mm

Large treatment spot

Large-area treatment for large-animal rehabilitation

A treatment spot of up to 100 mm in diameter can provide broad coverage for large anatomical regions, reducing the need to repeatedly reposition the applicator across extensive treatment areas.

From Point to Area. From Superficial to Deep.

Small / focused treatment→ localized treatment

Large treatment spot→ muscle groups / larger anatomical regions

Battery-Powered

For mobile and field-based treatment

Equine rehabilitation is not always performed inside a treatment room.

A battery-powered laser system provides greater mobility for use in:

  • Veterinary hospitals
  • Equine rehabilitation centers
  • Training facilities
  • Racing environments
  • Stable-side treatment
  • Field rehabilitation

Cord-free operation allows clinicians to bring the laser directly to the horse rather than bringing the horse to a fixed treatment station.

FAQ

What is laser therapy used for in equine rehabilitation?

Laser therapy may be incorporated into equine rehabilitation programs for selected applications involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and other soft tissues.

It may be used as part of rehabilitation, pain management and post-exercise recovery programs according to veterinary assessment and clinical protocol.

What wavelengths are used for equine laser therapy?

Equine laser therapy can use multiple wavelengths depending on the treatment objective and target tissue.

GIGAA offers 5- and 6-wavelength laser platforms, with configurations that can include 635 nm, 650 nm, 810 nm, 980 nm and 1064 nm.

Different wavelengths provide different tissue interaction characteristics, allowing clinicians to select the appropriate wavelength according to the intended application.

Why is high power important for equine laser therapy?

Horses have large anatomical structures and often require treatment over extensive areas.

Higher laser output can help deliver therapeutic energy efficiently across larger treatment areas, making high-power systems particularly useful for equine rehabilitation and sports medicine.

Treatment power should be selected according to the target tissue, treatment area and clinical protocol.

What is the advantage of a large treatment spot?

A larger treatment spot allows more tissue to be covered with each application.

GIGAA systems can provide treatment spot sizes of up to 100 mm in diameter, which can be particularly useful when treating large muscle groups, backs, limbs or other extensive anatomical areas.

Large-area treatment can also reduce the number of applicator movements required during a session.

Can an equine laser therapy system be used outside the clinic?

Yes. Battery-powered laser systems can provide greater mobility for equine rehabilitation and sports medicine.

They can be used in veterinary hospitals, rehabilitation centers, training facilities, stables and other field environments where a fixed power supply may not be convenient.

Can one laser system treat both small and large areas?

Yes. A multi-wavelength system with adjustable treatment parameters and different delivery options can support both localized and large-area treatment.

Focused treatment can be used for specific anatomical points, while larger treatment spots can be used for muscles and other extensive treatment areas.

This provides a point-to-area treatment approach within one laser platform.

How do I choose the right laser for equine rehabilitation?

The appropriate laser depends on the treatment area, target tissue, required wavelength, power output, treatment spot size and mobility requirements.

For equine rehabilitation, a multi-wavelength, high-power system with large-area treatment capability and battery-powered mobility can provide greater flexibility for both clinical and field applications.
