Equine LED | MD-Equine Therapy

EquineLED is the PROUD DISTRIBUTOR FOR THE U.S.A. OF EQUINE LTS PRODUCTS FROM DENMARK.

What is Light Therapy?
Our Light Therapy has its foundation in NASA LED research. The evolution within Light Emitting Diode (LED), has been exponential since 2002. The Equine LTS is using 3 different wavelengths and colored LED Chips, not the old-fashioned light emitting diode bulbs, for a more streamlined look and 120 degrees light. The LED chips are mounted on a flexible strip, pre-wired with resistors, and coated with a water-resistant silicon top, to maintain the durability and easy cleaning. The LED strips are powered by a 12V rechargeable battery and only needs to be used for 5 minutes twice a day. The wavelength of the LEDs used in the LTS range from 450-900nm, specifically blue light with 450nm, deep red light with 660nm, and near-infrared light with 850nm. According to studies done by H. Wheeler et. al., these are the wavelength which has the greatest effect on the living tissue and increases the regeneration of cells up to 200%.

The Science behind Photon Energy

As light goes from one energy level to a lower energy level, a photon is released. The released photon, from the light within the specific weave lengths of 450nm,660nm, and 850nm are then absorbed by the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the power plant of the cells, it's where the ATP (energy) is produced. The photon stimulates the energy being metabolized, in the muscles and the bones, along with the epidermis. The LED treatment promotes accelerated normal healing and regeneration of the tissue. But will not produce overgrowth or neoplastic transformation in the tissue. Thereby shortening the duration of recovery after an injury, by promoting accelerated healing in the tissue, and reducing pain and inflammation in soft tissue and joints.

The Benefits of Blue Light

The photons of blue light with a wavelength of 450nm, will penetrate the surface of the epidermis by 0.3mm. Already being used by numerous companies, for the treatment of acne, reduction of scares, promoting hair growth for the prevention of hair loss, and rejuvenation of the epidermis. Along with promoting rapid healing of a diabetic leg wound, with very good results.

The Benefits of Red Light

The deep red light, with a wavelength of 660nm, will pass the epidermis and into the underlying muscles and ligaments, with as much as 23cm. Delivering the photon energy, increases cell growth by as much as 140-200%, thereby decreasing wound size by more than 36%. The Improvement of musculoskeletal was greater than 40%, in injured Navy SEAL team members. Along with a 47% reduction of pain, in children with oral mucositis. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory effects in wounds, muscles, and joints of red LEDs with a wavelength of 660nm, have been well documented.

The Benefits of Infrared and Near-infrared Light

Infrared (IR) light and near-infrared light with a wavelength of 780nm - 900nm are close to invisible to the human eye. IR light penetrates the deepest into soft tissue and bones and has been proven in numerous pieces of research to lessen skeletal muscle fatigue in humans, along with shortening the recovery time after strenuous exercise.

Both acute and sub-acute wounds in various stages of edema and degrees of infection show accelerated healing when being treated daily with near-IR LEDs on the afflicted area, along with a reduction of pain after the first or second treatment, without any side effects from the treatment and very little scar tissue after the wounds have healed up.

Uses:

Wound healing: fast healing, minimization of scar tissue, increased hair growth
Fungus: anti-bacterial blue light
Blunt trauma: reduces swelling & soreness
Muscle injuries: increases healing processes and reduces restitution time
Ligament injuries: healing time reduction and scar tissue reduction
Arthritis: reduces pain & inflammation
Prevention: reduction of lactic acid in muscles after training
