3 EQUINE ATHLETES Getting your equine athlete back on Track Muscle and tendon strains, joint sprains and wounds are common injuries in equine athletes. Equine tissue like human tissue is highly vulnerable to repetitive stress and can be career limiting for the athlete if not treated properly the first time. Equine veterinarians across North America have discovered a medical technology that heals injuries on a cellular level, safely and effectively, without any discomfort to the animal. This new medical technology is known as the Theralase line of therapeutic medical laser systems. The Theralase superpulsed laser system can penetrate up to 4 inches into tissue through all the hair and skin of an equine athlete to promote cellular regeneration at the source of the injury. Laser energy helps to repair damaged cells by accelerating several of the body s natural healing mechanisms. Depending on the severity of the injury, the equine athlete can return to competition usually within a few weeks instead of many months of stall rest. This means that your equine athlete can be back to competing in a fraction of the time. Pg.3

True Laser Diodes Versus LEDs True lasers are highly directional delivering 100% of the photons to the affected area versus only 5 to 6% with a LED; hence, much better treatment outcomes occur with true lasers versus LEDs. Laser - 100% of light energy in the forward direction LED - 5 to 6 % of light energy in the forward direction Theralase Laser LED 100 mw x 100%= 100 mw 15 mw x 6%= 0.9 mw Shorter Treatment Times The Theralase Multiple Probe utilizes 9 Lasers and is able to treat an area of 20cm 2 thus reducing treatment times by 90% in comparison to a single laser probe.

5 THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE PRODUCT theralase is the only laser on the market known to activate all three cellular pathways 660 nm - Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) PATHwAY: Healing Theralase stimulates the mitochondria of the cell to produce more Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP or basic cell energy) to accelerate tissue repair. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science 2003) Cells that lack energy are unable to participate in the healing process. Laser energy is delivered to injured cells, which are able to absorb the light and convert it into chemical energy, which is then used to accelerate tissue repair. Once cells are fully energized they are able to stimulate each other to rebuild and heal the injured area. 905 nm - Nitric Oxide (NO) PATHwAY: Inflammation Independent research proves that the proprietary Theralase 905nm superpulsed laser technology increases the production of NO by over 700%, increasing vasodilation and decreasing inflammation versus other competitive wavelengths. (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2009). When tissue injury occurs, the inflammatory process is initiated to immobilize the area and prevent further damage to our body. This process is usually associated with pain caused by inflammation exerting pressure on nerve endings. In order to decrease inflammation in the particular region, the body produces Nitric Oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide has been proven to relax the vascular network, dilate the capillaries, improve vascular function, protect against cell injury and help rebalance the immune response. This process not only reduces inflammation but brings much needed oxygen and other metabolites to the injured tissue aiding in their natural healing. Cristae Matrix Inner Membrane Outer Membrane 905 nm - Lipid Absorption PATHwAY: Pain Theralase laser technology effectively removes the pain signal at source by rebalancing the sodium potassium pathway. (Harvard Medical School 2010) Neurons use electrical and chemical signals to transmit information. The transmission of pain is primarily due to an expulsion of sodium ions (Na+) and an influx of potassium (K+) ions into the nerve cell across the cellular membrane, altering the electrical potential difference of the nerve cell. The peak absorption of lipids occurs in the near infrared wavelength range of 905 nm to 910 nm. Since the cellular membrane is a bilipid membrane, laser light in the 905 nm range increases the porosity of the cellular membrane. This increased cellular membrane porosity allows the reabsorption of sodium ions and the expulsion of potassium ions across the membrane rebalancing the sodium-potassium pump and removing the pain signal at source.

8 BUT DON T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT... HERE S WHAT equine experts ARE SAYING ABOUT THERALASE TERRY RUCH, DVM Barrie Equine Clinic, Innisfil, Ontario The Theralase is able to increase efficacy, provide superior clinical outcomes and allow for faster return to competition for many equine athletes. The Theralase works extremely well at reducing pain and inflammation, working on numerous soft tissue injuries, such as: muscles, tendons and ligaments BLAIR BURGESS Winner of the Hambletonian (2006) and The Little Brown Jug (2007), Campbellville, Ontario On Royal Decree, a 2 yr old trotting colt: I definitely noticed decreased inflammation in a shorter amount of time. All my other treatment protocols had been followed as per usual and we had never seen healing at that speed before. JACK MOISEYEV Standardbred Driver, Moffat, Ontario I drove Raising Rhonda one week prior to her laser treatments and she locked on the left line and finished seven wide in the stretch. Next week after 4 laser treatments, I saw a dramatic difference in her steering as she drove straight as an arrow and finished second.

9 CLINICAL PROOF over 3,000 clinical studies worldwide have proven the effectiveness of laser THERAPY A Study of the Effects of Lasering on Chronic Bowed Tendons at Wheatley Hall Farm Limited, Canada McKibbon and Paraschak Lasers Surg Med March standardbred horses with chronic bowed tendon injuries received a single treatment with infrared 904 nm laser and were then evaluated for final race times, last quarter race times and class changes. A significant percent of these horses showed either similar or improved times and classes. Conclusion: Lasering bowed tendons presents a safe and inexpensive alternative to traditional treatment methods which often require stall rest of up to 1 year. Use of Laser Light to treat Certain Lesions in Standardbreds McKibbon and Paraschak. Modern Veterinary Practice. March Horses with check ligament injuries, 8 horses with plantar desmitis and 30 horses with pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia were treated using a 904 nm low level laser. The final and last quarter race times were analyzed before and after treatment. The results were significant with 60-90% of horses showing similar or faster race times and an ability to race in similar or higher classes after treatment. Conclusion: Treatment of a variety of neuromuscular skeletal conditions using a 904 nm laser showed significantly positive results Treatment of Chronic Back pain in horses : stimulation of Acupuncture points with a low powered infrared laser Martin and Kilde. Veterinary Surgery June Fourteen horses could not perform at expected standards due to chronic back pain of 4 to 48 months in duration. They did not obtain lasting improvement from other forms of therapy. They were treated by stimulating 9 acupuncture points using a low powered infrared laser (905 nm). After completing 11 treatments, performed weekly, pain was alleviated in 10 of the 14 horses. Of the ten horses who were training and competing, 4 went on to win. One year after treatment was discontinued, 9 of the 10 horses were performing at an acceptable standard for their owner. Conclusion: Chronic back pain can be treated using laser acupuncture to achieve positive results both in the immediate and long term. Pg.9
