Success Stories
We feel fortunate to have received reflections from our clients, including horses, physicians, and coaches about how Spectra Therapy’s LASERwrap® has helped them. Here are some of our favorites:
“I have a 12 year old barrel horse that usually requires hock injections every six months. Her right hock was always worse than the left. I decided to try the Spectra Therapy Laser hock wrap on her right hock to see if I could prolong her injections. I was amazed at how much it helped her! I have been a barrel horse trainer for over 35 years and used a lot of therapeutic products. I can honestly say I have seen the biggest results with all my Spectra Therapy Laser products - human and equine!”

"My clients and I have seen significant results with the hock wraps! We have noticed a reduction of pain and increased flexibility in the joint area. They are also great for treatment on the knees!"

Spectra Therapy Quick LASERwrapTM is a smart, easy way to care for torn suspensory ligaments and recurring problems. The repeated treatments day in and out, greatly improve blood flow, quickly strengthening and healing the area in need.

“The Quick LASERwrapTM was used as the only course of treatment of a significant Superficial digital flexor tendon. The injury had an 80% involvement of the tendon, midway and distal, with about 4-5 inches of the length of the tendon damage. After 90 days of LASERwrapTM treatments 2 hours / day, the degree of repair was unexpected. The fibers appeared much more organized than anticipated and the holes had vanished. The amount and quality of healing is remarkable for such a severe soft tissue injury and a surprise that the horse will again be ride-able.”
Dr. Rachel Shrader, DVM
Kern Road Vet Clinic, Fowlerville, MI
“The versatility of the LASERwrapTM system allows me to treat many horse conditions from neck to stifle with the practical “One Wrap many applications” kit design. The product is easy to install, and it automatically provides 3 treatments in less than 2 hours; making the therapy much more effective for those more complex injuries. There is no longer a need to waste time with the hands-free delivery system.”

“WEARABLE LASERwrap®” saves time and money. They work great on their own and when used in conjunction with other therapies, the results are amazing! Based off my rehab:
1) 2 years off didn't heal the suspensory. Then using laser 4 months with only 1 shockwave treatment. It was healed under digital ultrasound. 2) Suspensory strain back to work 6 weeks using lasers every day. 3) PRP injection, shockwaves every week for 4 weeks, lasers 24x7 and in 8 weeks completely healed and back to riding. After rides put laser back on injury

“The Spectra Laser has become an integral part of our post-surgical care and rehabilitation on Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses. It reduces swelling in the surgical/injury site, promotes quicker healing of wounds, and reduces pain in a very short period of time. As an Equine Massage Therapist, I use the Spectra Laser to assist in getting the horse to relax and the muscles to release more quickly and completely; especially in areas of past injury or overuse. I have found the Spectra Laser to be an excellent tool to aid in healing and to lessen swelling and pain in the horses who wear it. It is easy and convenient to use and it is adaptable to basically any area of the horse’s body. I highly recommend Spectra Laser Therapy and we are thankful that CANTER Michigan horses can benefit daily from its use.”

“I am so pleased with how the Spectra Therapy LASERwrapTM moves the inflammation and debris out of the horse’s muscles, hydrates the connective tissue, breaks up scar tissue, and releases trigger points, relieving a horse’s often previously undetected ischemic pain and restriction. What normally took several bodywork sessions to achieve is now possible often with just one or two when my clients can continue using Spectra’s LASERwrapTM on the areas of concern after I leave their barns. The automatic unit is so affordable, easy and safe it should be part of every horse owner’s veterinary kit. My client’s like it because they can put it on nearly any part of their horse and then go do other barn chores or ride other horses while it treats. My clients use it and that is half the battle in helping the horses to heal faster - applying the therapy regularly and where it is needed.”

“Spectra Therapy Wearable LASERwrapTM is a great tool for show jumpers to keep horses sound, performing comfortably and overall conditioning. When trailering, it helps keep stocking up to a minimum. For injuries it helps the horse to recover faster along with keeping them comfortable LASERwrapTM works great and accelerates healing of damaged or swollen tendons and ligaments, including suspensory and hock injuries. I also use the product on the horses’ that show soreness in their back when you first get on or palpate. They seem looser and don't palpate sore after the treatments. Also, when you first get on these horses don't crouch underneath you. I think the laser is very useful therapy tool, and with the ease of application will be desirable to other horsemen of all disciplines.”

"I have been very impressed with how effective Spectra Lasers have been for our horses. I have used them while traveling long distances in the trailer and at shows. We also have a regular schedule for using them when at home. We use the lasers on lower legs, back, and neck. Inflammation and swelling in lower limbs is always dramatically reduced after using the laser. Using regularly on the poll and neck produces a much more supple topline from the beginning of schooling sessions. It is very convenient to be able to use them in the trailer and easily on the show grounds. Spectra Lasers keep our horses feeling their best and working and competing at their peak."

“I have been riding and doing therapy on horses for 25+ years and use several therapeutic devices. I have been using the SPECTRA laser since May 2014. I have consistently used my leg wraps while conditioning my horse for shows and while he was on break. They have kept the blood flowing throughout his legs and reduced our down time and soreness. My mare was stocking up and I put wraps on and turned them out. Swelling was down next morning. I use them pre-race 3-4 days before a show to get things moving. Within WPRA drug guidelines, these are a good way to keep your horses drug free and still feeling there best! A horse that feels good is a horse that will take you to the pay window. You can use the lasers for edema, back soreness, poll soreness, stifle, hock, feet, knee or wherever you think your horse is sore. Spectra laser will help pre-race, and help heal for quicker recovery time. I like the Spectra laser not only because it works but because it is EASY-TO-USE! I can wrap the legs, set the setting to blue or green and walk away.

“We had one horse with chronic filling in her left hind ankle and in just a few days with LASERwrapTM , we noticed a market difference. Her leg was not puffy at all. Now I am using the leg wraps to promote circulation in my top show horses. They are effective and so easy to use. My staff loves them.”

“I began using the laser wraps on a student’s horse who had notoriously puffy legs. After just two weeks, the filling and puffiness was nearly gone. Not only did his legs look tight, he was feeling the best he’s ever felt. I recommend LASERwrapTM therapy to all my clients for injuries and daily prevention. I use them on all my horses now too.”
Caroline Roffman

“As an Adult Amateur competitor time is a huge factor. I want to keep my FEI horse in top condition and with the LASERwrapTM treatment it’s easy. These boots really work! I must admit I tried them on myself for a hand injury; the healing was miraculous. I recommend them to everyone. They work and they are so easy to use – no more excuses!
Johnny Robb
Dressage Competitor

“I have used LASERwrapTM for about 1 ½ months now and I can see that my horse, who has had a lot of fluids in the hind legs for years, has dropped down to maybe half the size already. This is an older horse whose condition is chronic. I expect it to take a while to completely disappear. I’m looking forward to what his legs will look lik in another month or two.”

“Over thirty years ago our vet informed us about the science and benefits of laser therapy and how it could be used on the high performance dressage horses being trained at Landmark Farms. Investing in a laser therapy unit all those years ago was to date one of the best expenditures we ever made. Recently we were introduced to Spectra Therapy line of wearable laser products and couldn’t wait to try them as part of Landmark Farms new therapy and lay up program. Multiple ultrasounds were performed and to everone’s surprise the Spectra Therapy Wearable LASERwrapTM products accomplished more healing in 6 weeks than our handheld lasers did in 6 months. Thank You Spectra Therapy!”
Brad Cutshall, President

“Thank you for creating the new WEARABLE Boot LASERwrapTM. They are super EASY to Use, simple to put on and the horses healing response is quick. I use them daily on a couple if not more of my dozen horses for a variety of circulation problems or bruises. They provide excellent blood flow and showed good improvements on a few our horses that had bowed tendons. I am happy to own a pair and recommend them to all barrel racers.”
June Holeman, NFR Professional Barrel Racer, RFDTV’s The American Qualifier, Arcadia, NB
“I have found the Spectra Laser Therapy quick wrap leg boots to greatly help in healing and maintaining our horses’ legs and body. We have many horses, many situations. LASERwrapTM’s ability to dramatically improve circulation has helped greatly.

“Lasering horses cannon bones and shins on an every other day basis, is a good protective measure to insure against bowed tendons. Spectra’s WEARABLE LASERwrapTM is perfect for this application. The dual kit installs in a few minutes and automatically treats the horses after they’ve been breezed. The horse’s get 3 laser treatments which shows in their performance.”

“June Holeman and I used the lasers while I was with her! On the horse’s injuries we were amazed at the difference we would see with swelling. The day June’s mare got her leg cut up we did three treatments and the swelling went down to half the size. At the end of day two with second day treatment, no swelling. Day three the scratches were already growing hair! Love this product! I would have it in my barn for clients and my personal horses as well! This is just one small thing it can help with!”
Stevie Ann Sorrell Tucek for June Holeman, NFR Professional Barrel Racer, RFDTV’s The American Qualifier, Arcadia, NB
“Great product! Spectra LASERwrapTM helped repair a bad suspensory ligament in half the time 8 weeks. Horses treated seemed to have more energy plus an improved temperament. I purchased a second unit for a horse with bowed tendon, that our vet stated the horse’s racing days were over. In less than 2 weeks the horse began to recover and within 4 weeks resumed training. I also use the laser to relieve EPM symptoms. It helps to keep the horse sound so she can race.”
Willis Clark , Trainer Harness Racing, Pompano Racing, FL, MI and Ontario
“Spectra LASERwrapTM has proven to heal suspensory ligament injuries and wounds in half the time of other treatment protocols.”
Tim Roach, Trainer/Driver, Harness Racing, Hoosier Park
“In using the Spectra Laser, I am impressed with its therapeutic value for a difficult area to treat: the mouth. We have encountered small cuts, rubs, abrasions at the corners of a horses’ mouth from different bit use. The Spectra Laser helps heal these areas efficiently, and prevents the reopening of those abrasions.”
Janus Marquis, Official Physiotherapist, U.S. Olympic Showjumping Team
“After 30 days of using my Spectra Therapy LASERwrapTM my horse’s foot was completely healed! WOW!! No proud flesh! Vet said it would have taken up to 6 months to heal. LASERwrapTM helps to speed up recovery and healing and is very convenient. The wrap eliminates the need to hold the end of the wand on the old box laser. “
