What is LED Phototherapy? Light therapy works by energising damaged cells and increasing blood flow using highly beneficial wavelengths of red and infrared light from LED (light emitting diodes). Light therapy works at cell level so humans and all animals including birds and marine mammals will be receptive to this treatment. Studies show that appropriate doses of red light therapy will: • Increase energy in cells • Increase cell regeneration • Increase circulation • Reduce inflammation and increase lymphatic activity • Provide natural pain relief and calming effect by increasing endorphins and serotonin • Increase immune system activity • Help to prevent cell death when applied within 4-6 hours of injury An animal owner who is keen to take an active role in their pet’s rehabilitation can check if Photizo Vetcare is available for hire through their animal health professional, especially if you prefer to see the results before you invest in one for yourself. This is also a good idea if your animal needs only a 1-2 week course post-surgery or acute injury. If your animal competes, is in active work and vulnerable to injury, elderly or unfortunately requires a long term pain management treatment programme for a chronic condition, the Photizo ® Vetcare will last for many years and will be a great investment for their long term health and they will love the relaxing effects this therapy provides.
