Equine Cold Laser Therapy

EQUINE COLD LASER THERAPY

Practitioner: Justine Nord
Session Fee:  $175
Session Length: 70 – 90 Minutes

Equine Cold Laser Therapy is a painless treatment that uses clinically tested wavelengths of light to stimulate natural biological processes leading to faster healing and pain relief. Like plants absorb sunlight through photosynthesis, cells in the body absorb laser energy that stimulates the body to release pain relieving compounds and are energized to participate in the healing process. There are no side effects and many times laser therapy can take the place of pharmaceuticals and surgery to treat long-term, degenerative conditions.
