I have been reading some very boring and clinical studies, but the exciting news is that cold lasers accelerate bone healing in both animals and humans. The consensus is that fractures treated with cold laser heal 2x the rate of those left to heal without laser therapy. Pain and swelling also improved.
Highly recommend products from this company:

I had a chance to sample quite a few products at the Woodside Horse Trials . They are all formulated from natural ingredients and are very effective. Recommended!
