About our modalities

 Normal session times are 20-30 minutes but can vary depending on the situation and size of the animal being treated.

 A MagnaWave PEMF session can vary for each person or animal and can make them feel energized or very relaxed in the few hours after a session.  It is important to keep track of how they respond as it will help your practitioner determine how many sessions they may need to achieve the desired goals. 

   No, normal activities can be resumed right away. 

MagnaWave PEMF machines are not medical machines and do not treat, cure, or heal diseases or their symptoms. You should always ask your veterinarian before using any type of PEMF machine. PEMF machines should not be used on or around anyone with a battery implanted device, such as pacemakers, cochlear impacts, intrathecal pumps, etc. Magnetic fields are known to interfere with these machines.

 Muscle fasciculations are seen in an area where there is increased resistance from tension, inflammation, edema, lactic acid build up, etc. MagnaWave PEMF prescribes to addressing the full body for optimal wellness, as all systems are connected to another.   

 PEMF technology has existed for a long time and has been used for a variety of purposes, including seed germination. MagnaWave was founded in 2002, and has been providing an avenue for wellness ever since, using only top-of-the-line equipment and thorough certification training.

 While the therapy is similar, MagnaWave is not a static magnet. The difference is in the delivery method, power and how MagnaWave PEMF yields a deeper penetration. The higher power of MagnaWave PEMF provides shorter treatment times and often immediate results. What the blankets can do in 2 to 3 weeks most MagnaWave machines can do in 10 minutes.   

  Yes, but at the trainer or athletes discretion. However, we recommend that you try it ahead of time, since different people react differently to a session. We have found that some clients are more relaxed after the therapy, so you might not have the same edge before an event. Other clients are not affected in that way and are ready to perform.   

 By increasing the blood oxygen in the whole body, the sensitive area continues to be benefited as super oxygenated blood from the rest of the body continues to flow through the area. 

  Yes. While the magnetic field will not go through metal it will go around implants to the surrounding tissue. People with certain battery operated devices such as a pacemaker do not qualify for the use of MagnaWave PEMF because the risk of depleting the battery.     

The blood oxygen is increased, the lymphatic system is activated, and acupuncture points are stimulated. This process reduces pain and inflammation and promotes overall health. The idea of PEMF is to help relieve inflammation. Pain is thought to be caused by inflammation, if we can relieve the pain and swelling, the body can begin to recover naturally.   

PEMF will pass through the animal’s body whether it is of high or low intensity. Every animal is built differently, therefore the intensity of one client may vary from another’s. The difference is the amount of charge the field will stimulate in tissues as it is passing through the animal’s body. Higher voltage is more effective when low voltage isn’t enough. High voltage PEMF also produces a sensation that animals can actually feel which helps reassure the machine is working. 

Generally a full session will take 2 hours. This is why we only offer our LASERwraps as a rental.  Although this service can be added on if we are at a barn treating 5 or more horses in one day. See our Services page for more information.

Laser therapy is not painful. Some people may feel slight warmth or tingling from the improved circulation and blood flow. Laser treatments are relaxing for most. 

   No, normal activities can be resumed right away. 

Laser therapy is safe and effective with no known side effects. However, laser therapy is CONTRAINDICATED for pregnancy and those who have cancer and/or internal hemorrhaging. LASERwrap® wraps and pads are not sterile and should not be placed directly on an open wound. 

 Wearable LASERwrap® is the only wearable, automatic, and unattended laser therapy product on the market. Spectra Therapy is the first company to develop an application that can deliver this wearable form of this powerful therapy to most any area of the body, and it is FDA-cleared for at-home individual use versus large clinical equipment.  The application is called LASERwrap®, and the benefits of the automated and repeated treatments are noticeable in just a few hours. 

The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians used light therapy and applied heat to tender points in the human body to relieve symptoms of many syndromes.

In 1903, Nils Finsen, a Danish medical doctor, was given the Nobel Prize for successfully treating tuberculosis, rickets and lupus vulgaris with ultraviolet light. This was the first recognized application of artificial light to cure disease.

In 1923, the Russian researcher Alexander Gurwitsch first detected that cells emit infrared light as a means of intercellular communication. He observed that this light could be transmitted from a test tube to another adjacent one without any physical contact between them. He termed this infrared emission “mitogenetic radiation.”

In 1967, Dr. Endre Mester, a professor of surgery in Hungary, performed a revolutionary series of experiments that first documented the healing effect of lasers. In his earliest study, he discovered that tissue growth was accelerated with laser therapy. His later experiments documented not only improved healing with light therapy but also demonstrated that the healing was a systemic and not a local phenomenon. His work stimulated many other researchers in Europe and Eastern Europe to appreciate the value of laser therapy, long before it was appreciated in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

In Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), the primary target (chromophore) for the process is the cytochrome c complex which is found in the inner membrane of the cell mitochondria.  Cytochrome c is a vital component of the electron transport chain that drives cellular metabolism.  As light is absorbed, cytochrome c is stimulated, leading to increased production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that facilitates energy transfer within the cell.  Light stimulation also produces free nitric oxide signaling which drives vasodilationwhich improves microcirculation in the damaged tissue, delivering oxygen, vital sugars, proteins and salts while removing wastes. 

 Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is also called -

Red Light Therapy (RLT), low-level light therapy (LLLT), low-power laser therapy (LPLT), and most recently photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy.  

 By increasing the blood oxygen in the whole body, the sensitive area continues to be benefited as super oxygenated blood from the rest of the body continues to flow through the area. 

 Yes. Our LASERwraps and LZR are safe to use over implants or metal. Unlike some other modalities, it can also be used with a pacemaker.
