Light therapy is most effective when it can be matched to the tissue and situation.
Superficial structures, deeper muscle layers, and joint regions all respond differently depending on wavelength, intensity, and application time. The TheraLine Laser gives you a powerful, broad spectrum of wavelengths in a single, portable unit.
This device is well-suited for:
The broad spectrum of wavelengths make the laser useful for treating a wide range of areas, from superficial soft tissue to deeper structures.
Common Applications
The TheraLine Class IV Laser can be incorporated into veterinary-directed rehabilitation and equine bodywork programs to provide targeted photobiomodulation for areas affected by soreness, tissue stress, injury, or inflammation.
Common applications include:
-
Arthritis and age-related joint stiffness — supporting comfort and mobility around affected joints
-
Acute and chronic muscle soreness — providing focused support to sore or overworked muscle
-
Tendon and ligament injuries — supporting tissue recovery as part of a veterinary-directed rehab plan
-
Muscle strains and tears — supporting the body's natural repair processes during recovery
-
Back soreness, including horses with kissing spines — targeting areas of muscular tension and soft tissue discomfort
-
Neck and poll tension — providing focused treatment to areas of localized muscular tension
-
Sacroiliac (SI) region discomfort — supporting comfort in the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the SI region
-
Bruising and soft tissue trauma — supporting the normal healing response following injury
-
Wounds, abrasions, and superficial skin injuries — supporting tissue repair and wound healing
-
Post-operative recovery — supporting tissue healing as directed by a veterinarian
-
Scar tissue management — providing targeted light therapy to areas of established scar tissue
-
Localized inflammation and swelling — supporting circulation and the body's inflammatory response
-
Trigger points and areas of muscle tension — delivering concentrated light therapy to small, specific treatment areas
The TheraLine is intended as a complementary therapy, not a replacement for veterinary diagnosis or treatment. Its higher power density makes it particularly useful when the user needs to concentrate light energy on a specific structure or localized area rather than treating a large region at once.

The TheraLine Class IV Laser combines three clinically studied wavelengths:
-
660nm (Red light) – supports superficial tissue and skin-level circulation
-
810nm (Near-infrared) – penetrates deeper into muscle and connective tissue
-
980nm (Near-infrared) – suited for even deeper structures and provides a mild heating effect
We selected these wavelengths specifically to allow you to work across a wide range of tissue depths without switching devices.
