Choosing the Right Equine Laser Therapy Device
Laser therapy uses targeted light at specific wavelengths to help support your horse's recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote everyday soundness. Our collection includes options for a range of needs, from accessible devices for barns, training programs, and multi-pet households to professional-grade units built for veterinarians, chiropractors, and rehab specialists. Some devices also combine laser treatment with PEMF therapy for added versatility in clinics, at shows, and on the road.
When choosing a device, consider who will be using it, how often, and what you're treating. Everyday-use lasers offer adjustable settings for routine care, while professional-grade models offer more advanced treatment modes for deep tissue work on tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Laser Therapy vs. Red Light LED Therapy
Laser therapy and red light LED therapy both use light to support recovery, but they deliver that light differently.
Laser devices produce a focused, concentrated beam of light at a precise wavelength. This concentrated energy is typically used to target specific areas, such as a sore tendon, ligament, or joint, and to reach deeper tissue. Because of their strength, Class 3B lasers require more care during use, including keeping the beam away from the eyes.
Red light LED devices emit light that spreads out over a wider area at a lower intensity. They are well suited for covering larger areas like the back, neck, or legs, and for regular wellness and maintenance routines. LED therapy is generally simpler to use day to day and makes a good fit for owners who want an easy, at-home option.
If you're looking to treat a specific injury or work alongside your veterinarian on a rehab plan, a laser may be the better choice. For broader coverage and routine care, explore our Red Light Therapy collection.
Frequently Asked Questions About Equine Laser Therapy
What is Class 3B laser therapy?
Class 3B refers to a laser classification level. Class 3B laser therapy devices use targeted light at specific wavelengths to help support recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote soundness in horses.
What's the difference between laser therapy and red light LED therapy?
Lasers deliver a focused, concentrated beam for targeting specific areas and deeper tissue, while red light LED devices spread lower-intensity light over a wider area for general wellness and routine care. Browse our Red Light Therapy collection to compare LED options.
Do I need training to use a laser therapy device?
It depends on the device. Some lasers are designed for straightforward, everyday use, while professional-grade models are intended for experienced users and come with manufacturer training that is strongly recommended before use. Check each product page for details.
What is PEMF therapy?
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field therapy. Some devices in our collection combine PEMF with laser treatment in one unit to support soft tissue healing, pain relief, and mobility.
Always consult your veterinarian before starting any new therapy, especially if your horse is recovering from an injury, has an existing health condition, or is under a current treatment plan. Laser and light therapy devices are meant to support, not replace, professional veterinary care.
