Scientific research
Scientific research and studies about LED Treatment, commonly called Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Treatment with red and infrared LED lights, also called Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and Photobiomodulation (PBM), is proven in scientific studies to help the body recover, heal and perform better.
The results from treatment with LLLT are scientifically proven in over 4.000 academic studies. Below, we are linking to a selection of these studies.
You are always welcome to contact us if you want to know more or get links to more studies.
In this study, you will find proof that the light treatment produces significant reductions in back pain, epaxial muscle hypertonicity, and trunk stiffness in horses: Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy and Chiropractic Care on Back Pain in Quarter Horses ➝
This study presents the optical window and shows which wavelengths have been proven to have the best effect on the body: The Use of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) For Musculoskeletal Pain ➝
Red light with wavelengths 660 and 684 are proven in this study to be effective in reducing edema formation and inflammatory cell migration, with a significantly lower number of inflammatory cells in the muscular and conjunctive sub-plantar tissues: Anti-inflammatory effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with two different red wavelengths (660 nm and 684 nm) in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema ➝
These studies explain why we at LED by Cheval don’t use blue light. Blue light can barely penetrate the skin and tissue, can be damaging, and even develop resistance in bacteria if it is used repeatedly: Evidence of resistance development by Staphylococcus aureus to an in vitro, multiple stage application of 405 nm light from a supraluminous diode array ➝
