The LIGHTFORCE EQUINE POLL CAP is a clever device which aids in the management of poll tension due to the placements of the red and near infrared LED lights over acupuncture points, trigger points and common areas of tension throughout the head. It has a calming effect on horses and is an excellent option for nervous horses or horses with issues in the poll area.
Red light therapy is an effective method to reduce headaches, stiffness and stress in horses and can treat a wide range of conditions in an entirely safe and drug-free way.
Some common symptoms of poll tension are:-
- Overly sensitive to touch around the ears or palpation about the poll.
- Stiffness
- Headaches
- The horse riding heavier on one rein than the other.
- Resists bending in one direction.
- Stress
- Teeth Grinding
- Behavioural Problems
- Stopping at jumps.
- Head Tension & Head Tilting
- Frontal Sinuses
- 1st and 2nd Cervical Vertebrae (and 3rd on some horses)
- Pull Back injuries
- Head trauma
- Difficulty in bridling.
- Tack: poor fitting, improper usage
- Has a reluctance to step through from behind.
Light therapy is clinically recognised as a non-invasive therapeutic treatment to help with a range of ailments in both humans and animals. Light therapy works at a cellular level, increasing blood flow, re-energising cells, stimulating the regeneration and repair of injured tissues and reducing pain and inflammation. Being non-invasive, it is particularly useful for equine patients, with no stress and they appear to genuinely enjoy the treatment and massively benefit from the results.
