What is Light Therapy?
Light therapy, also known as "phototherapy", uses a combination of super luminous (visible) and infra-red (invisible) light to
treat damage to skin, as well as problems with muscles, tendons, bones and ligaments.
The treatment works by stimulating the blood supply in the area, providing extra oxygen and nutrients to the damaged
tissue. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, enabling waste products to be removed more quickly, reducing
inflammation.
Light therapy increases the production of collagen, an essential protein in the repair of damaged tissue. Other reported
effects of the treatment include stimulating the production of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and increasing the
body's ability to replace damaged cells.
What is BioScan?
BioScan is the leading name in Light Healing Technology
BioScan is a unique two-part system:
* DIAGNOSTIC: Detect areas where there is a problem, without diagnosing what that problem actually is.
* THERAPEUTIC: Treat those areas using a combination of light therapy and magnotherapy (also known as magnetic
therapy).
BioScan has proven effective in the treatment of multiple equine ailments and chronic discomforts. BioScan products
generate and apply photodynamic light precisely tuned to specific frequencies that studies have indicated stimulate healing
enzymes within cellular structures.
The system uses the "Bio~Find", a small metal comb-like structure, to pinpoint areas of damage by measuring the flow of
electrical impulses around the horse's body. When there is an imbalance in the electrical flow, the Bio~Find emits a signal
to register this. These areas are then treated with light therapy.
Reading the imbalances in the horse's electrical impulses around the body can enable problems to be picked up before
any outward signs are visible or the horse's performance is affected. Imbalances will also occur where the horse has been
compensating for an old injury.
Once the horse has been scanned and the problem areas noted, the light therapy can be administered.
Bio~Scan treatment is applied through two hand-held circular "cluster heads", each of which contain 30 LEDs (light-emitting
diodes). The heads are held in place over the problem areas for 30 seconds to stimulate the cells.
The Bio~Scan heads also feature a PEM (pulsed electro magnetic) ring that can be turned on or off as required. This ring
generates a pulsed electro magnetic field, which penetrates deeply in areas with deep muscles such as the hindquarters.
Joanne's Bio~scan treatment are also given through accessories containing LEDs such as hock boots, leg wraps and the
light cap.
Benefits:
* Stimulates cellular reproduction
* Relaxes muscles and stimulates nerve transmission
* Stimulates acupuncture points and immune response
* Provides relief of minor pains and aches
* Helps provide an improved range of motion
* Provides an increase in local blood circulation
* Stimulate tissue granulation and connective tissue projections, which are part of the healing process of wounds, ulcers or
inflamed tissue.
* Stimulate fibroblastic activity which aids in the repair process.
* Increase RNA and DNA synthesis. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more promptly.
* Increase vascularity (circulation) by increasing the formation of new capillaries.
* Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
