Horizon Light Therapy Provides Effective Pain Relief while Speeding up the Healing Process
Compare and Price Light Therapy Products
Horizon Light Therapy is very effective as an additional, adjunct treatment protocol to accompany decompression therapy and to treat many other conditions as well.
 Horizon Light Therapy Probe
The Horizon infrared and red light therapy unit delivers a powerful 800mW of infrared (880nm) and red (660nm) light through a 2" diameter probe. The Horizon probe can be purchased as a plug-in to the HF54 Interferential/Premod unit for $1,499 or as a stand-alone for $1,795. The standalone unit can be wall or table-top mounted.
Glossary of terms
HF54 Interferential/Premod Unit with Two Channels: for use with the Horizon Light Therapy Probe
 How it Works: Interferential therapy uses a four-electrode application. These four electrodes deliver two currents. When the two paths cross, they result in a “beat frequency.” This “beat frequency” results in a lowered skin resistance (impedance); thus it is more comfortable and a more tolerable penetration into the skin compared to low frequency currents. Premod is a composite waveform using two frequencies similar to interferential. Premod is used with two electrodes on smaller areas when interferential cannot be used or in combination with ultrasound. Premod can be used at two different intensities or on two different patients.
Light therapy is powerful, effective and safe for pain relief and to help speed the healing process
- Light therapy can safely be applied directly over the spinal cord, joint replacements, internal metal, and joint capsules in arthritic conditions.
- Dosage: 800mW - Every 90 seconds = 4 Joule/cm2.
- Typical treatment sessions range from 30 to 180 seconds, 2 - 4 times a week
- NASA exclusively uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs). “LEDs stimulate the basic energy processes in the mitochondria (energy compartments) of
 each cell. DNA synthesis in fibroblasts and muscle cells has been quintupled using LED light alone.” 2 “Evidence indicates that cells absorb photons and transform their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that cells utilize. The resulting ATP is then used to power metabolic processes; synthesize DNA, RNA,
proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair or regenerate cell components; foster mitosis or cell proliferation; and restore homeostasis.”3
LED vs. Laser (LLLT)
“The light source does not have to be a laser in order to have a therapeutic effect. It just has to be light of the right wavelength."3
Depth of Penetration
Measured spectroscopically, light photons at wavelengths between 630-800 nm travel 23 cm through the surface tissue and muscle.1
