Why Light Therapy?

Many people ask why our company is called According to "Gospel"... Our company is named for our horse Gospel Hour who developed a severe case of laminitis after a surgery to repair an old injury in 1999. At that time, we were looking for a way to help Gospel, not begin a business, but as word spread, people started to ask us to help their animal friends and Gospel's light pads became a business. Our goal is to provide quality light therapy products that are safe, effective and affordable, great light therapy products for both horse and dog owners and for health care professionals and trainers.

Light therapy is great for tmj or salivary gland issues

Equine & Canine Light Therapy pads have become a "must have" for many animal owners. Why? They are safe, easy to use, affordable and effective. Since the early '80s, light therapy (sometimes called red light therapy, Phototherapy, LED therapy, DPL, Infrared therapy, Photon Therapy, or Red/Infrared Therapy) has been used in the horse world for treating equine concerns and helping owners and trainers keep their horses in top shape. The first light therapy that was widely used on animals was laser therapy, also called low level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy. It has since been reported that light therapy using LEDs produces many of the same benefits as LLLT, but is less costly and much safer. A 1989 study entitled "Low-Energy Laser Therapy: Controversies and New Research Findings", Jeffrey R. Basford, M.D. of the Mayo Clinic’s Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation suggests that the coherent aspect of laser may not be the source of its therapeutic effect. Thus any effects produced by low-energy lasers may be due to the effects of light in general and not to the unique properties of lasers.* LEDs do not deliver enough power to damage the tissue, but they do deliver enough energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself. LEDs provide a much gentler delivery of the same healing wavelengths of light as does the laser.

 LED light therapy is really a way to help the body heal itself. We use  specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by a photo acceptor, cytochrome c oxidase within the mitochondria of the cell. The energy (photons) from the lights increases the energy within the cell and that speeds up the healing process. The lights must be specific wavelengths and must be delivered at a specific dosage. We use two wavelengths in our light therapy pads, a visible red and a near infrared wavelength.  Using both red and near infrared lights is beneficial because the wavelengths are absorbed by different depths of tissue. The combination of the two work in concert to provide benefits for soft tissue injuries, inflammation, ligament soreness, tendon problems, sore backs, splints, strains, stifle issues, sprains, swelling, shoulder pain, hip pain, sore backs, sore necks, salivary gland problems, wounds, cuts, scrapes, arthritis pain and for trigger points and acupuncture points.  Visible red light (660nm) is absorbed by skin layers very efficiently and is best for uses such as stimulating trigger and acupuncture points and for treating wounds and infections. Near infrared light (850nm) penetrates to a deeper level has been used to treat concerns of tendons, ligaments, bones, joints and muscle.

Our Light Therapy pads are available in four sizes and you get everything you need, including the power supply and straps that adhere to the pad with velcro. We offer a rechargeable battery pack as an accessory.
We use specific wavelengths, high quality LEDs and our Equine & Canine Light Therapy pads are manufactured right here in the United States. To insure safety for the horse, dog and his human, the cord is not hardwired into the pad, it plugs into the pad and quick releases, if needed. An internal timer turns your pad off after the recommended treatment time of 15 minutes. You can find more information on that on our Products page.

This sure worked on our German Shorthair! I was skeptical, being an infectious diseases physician, but her ulcer healed in record time.

Our Medium Light Therapy pad with optional battery pack

Now, why should you use it?
Many studies have reported great results with LED therapy for the following equine and canine concerns:

General: Arthritis pain, bursitis, bruising, burns, edema, deep muscle problems, hematomas, inflammation, tight or sore muscles and infections.

Hoof Problems: Abscesses, bone spurs, inflammation, navicular, ringbone and laminitis.

Leg and Body: Ankle problems, bone chips, hock problems, inflammation, ligament soreness, tendon problems, sore backs, splints, strains, stifle issues, sprains, swelling, shoulder pain, hip pain, sore backs, sore necks, salivary gland problems, wounds, cuts, scrapes and for stimulating trigger points and acupuncture points.

But how does it work and why?
We found many impressive studies that included the following:

**The LEDs at specific wavelengths are reported to increase circulation by increasing the formation of new capillaries. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away.

**Collagen is the most common protein found in the body and the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. Studies cite that LEDs stimulate the production of collagen. It has been reported that by increasing collagen production, less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site.

**LED therapy is reported to stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells and provides the chemical energy that drives the chemical reaction of the cell. Increases in ATP allow cells to use nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell.

**Increases lymphatic system activity. Edema has two basic components, liquid and protein. Research has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy. This means that both parts of the edema can be eliminated at a much faster rate to relieve swelling.

**Reduces the excitability of nervous tissue. The light energy stimulates the release of endorphins which are the body's own long-term pain fighting chemicals.

**May improve peripheral neuropathies by stimulating nitric oxide production.

**Increases RNA and DNA synthesis which helps damaged cells to be replaced more quickly.

**Increases the process of scavenging for and ingesting dead or degenerated cells by phagocyte cells for the purpose of clean up. This is an important part of the infection-fighting process. Destruction of the infection and clean-up must occur before the healing process can take place.

**Stimulates fibroblastic activity that aids in the repair process. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are capable of forming collagen fibers.*

**Stimulates tissue granulation and connective tissue projections, part of the healing process.

**Stimulates trigger and acupuncture points.

**Helps relax muscles.

We have found no reports of adverse side effects regarding LED therapy. It is repeatedly reported that when the cell is "reenergized" it accepts no more energy, so you cannot cause harm and it is reported to have no effect on healthy tissue. The body will not absorb what it cannot use. Caution is urged for those taking photosensitive drugs. Please do not use over a pregnant mare’s abdominal area unless you are being advised by a veterinarian who is familiar with light therapy, we have found no studies citing use on pregnant mares.
We have been told that a temporary increase in pain or discomfort may be observed after treating chronic conditions. When we began using our first prototype, I was fortunate to speak with a trainer of racehorses who started using light therapy back in the mid-'80s. He said," If he gets sore, don't stop, that means it's working." He uses light therapy not only for injuries but as a regular part of his daily training program.

Many of our clients incorporate the use of "Gospel's" Light Therapy pads as a regular part of their daily training program. It is another tool to help keep your partner in top shape.

Never use over a malignant tumor on any animal unless instructed by a qualified veterinarian. (There are studies that report the benefits of light therapy outweigh the risks in this area, but until we know more, we prefer to err on the side of caution.)
Do not use on pregnant mares or pregnant dogs abdominal area, not because it is harmful, we have found no studies citing use on pregnant mares or dogs, so prefer to err on the side of caution.
Don't shine the lights directly into the eyes of any animal (or person). Prolonged use of the lights directly into the eye may cause problems.
Caution must be used if photosensitive drugs such as, but not limited to, tetracycline are being administered.

Very Nice!
Color: Best Dad-brown, Color: Best Dad-brown
I must admit I was a little suprised at how nicely done this Valet Tray has been made. My father used to have one similar to this when I was a child (without the charging base) that came from Italy. It was made from real leather and he had it for many years. This Valet Tray reminds me of his. I realize it is not real leather but it is definitely an excellent grade of PU. The seams are Immaculate, with razor straight stiching. Not a single thread out of place. The Vege Leather is truly beautiful, with realistic and natural looking coloration and shading as real leather would have. The feel is the same as well oiled and polished leather. Honestly I am impressed with how much time and effort has been put into this Valet Tray. This is an excellent Gift for anyone who has a busy life and likes to know where their keys are etc.. As well as being an excellent place to set your phone. The charging tray works perfectly. The user manual that comes with this Valet Tray gives all the information needed. It is very simple and easy to set up. You simply plug in the cord that is included with the tray and when you set your phone down on the charging pad, Bingo! it begins to charge. You can tell when it is charging because the light will turn from blue (standby) to green (charging). I must say that I am extremely happy in every way with this Valet Tray. The different Sayings that these come with are very nicely done. This one says "Dad, Your'e My Hero, Thanks for Everything" There are other sayings as well by this company, as for this one I am looking forward to giving this one to my husband on Fathers Day (from our son) and see the happiness on his face. I would recommend this to anyone with a "Dad" in their life who could use one.

★★★★ Practical and Stylish Gift for Dad
Color: Best Dad-brown
This valet tray is a fantastic gift idea for dads! The design is excellent, offering a functional and organized space for essentials like keys, wallets, and phones, with ample storage for other belongings. The built-in wireless charger is a thoughtful touch, though upgrading it to MagSafe or Qi2 compatibility would make it even better for modern devices. The quality feels premium, with high-quality vegan leather that’s both durable and easy to clean, making the price feel justified. It’s also the perfect size for a desk, nightstand, or dresser. While the tray is marketed for dads, I’d love to see variations for women, children, or other demographics—it’s such a versatile and practical product. The only other thing I’d like is more color options to match different styles or decor. Overall, it’s a thoughtful and well-made gift that’s both stylish and functional!

Es una buen cargador inalámbrico, pero su mal ensamblaje hizo que no funcionara al inicio.
Color: Best Dad-brown, Color: Best Dad-brown
Estaba bastante emocionado de tener éste cargador inalámbrico para mi celular. Me gustó mucho el diseño de la bandeja hecho en piel. (según la descripción) Lamentablemente, no funcionó con mi celular, tengo un iPhone 12 pro max, que funciona perfectamente si lo cargo con cualquier otro cargador inalámbrico, pero con éste cargador no funcionó, simplemente se quedaba la luz led en color azul parpadeando. Y según las instrucciones es porque no está bien acomodado en la bandeja ó que está protegiéndose de un sobre-calentamiento, pero nada que ver con ello, ya que lo estuve probando acomodándolo de distintas maneras y comparándolo al mismo tiempo con otro cargador donde sí funcionaba mi celular sin problemas. Cabe mencionar que las pruebas fueron hechas sin tener ningún estuche protector en el celular que pudiese interferir con la conexión inalámbrica del cargador. Simplemente éste cargador no estaba funcionando. Quedé desilusionado, ya que ére era el propósito de tener éste cargador, ya que usar sólo la bandeja, el precio por éste producto sería exageradamente alto. Bandeja y cargador es una buena idea, pero la bandeja sin un cargador que no funcione, no tiene caso. En el último momento decidí abrir (soy técnico en electrónica) para revisar porque no estaba funcionando, y descubrí que la bobina que funge como imán, estaba despegada de donde debería estar posicionada por causa de un mal ensamblaje. Así que simplemente la coloqué en el lugar que debería de ir añadiendo un poco de pegamento para reforzar que no se vuelva a despegar. Hice prueba nuevamente, y el celular ésta vez fue detectado sin problemas y cargando. En conclusión, la idea de ésta bandeja con el cargador es muy buena, el producto es muy bueno en cuanto a la calidad de la piel, lamentablemente un mal ensamblaje termina haciendo que demerite la calidad del producto. Iba a dar 2 estrellas, sin embargo, al encontrar la falla, subo a 3 estrellas, ya que el producto en si es bueno, pero el mal ensamble, como mencioné, le resta mucho, ya que podría haber llevado a que éste producto ya fuera inútil.

Good looking and the wireless charging works great
Color: Best Dad-brown
I have a confession to make, I(a dad) bought this for myself. I was looking for something to keep on the night stand next tot he bed without getting to big. I only wanted something to charge my phone and put the tv remotes in, I have no interest in keeping my keys, watch or spare change in reach of our younger children....most of the other options I found were much bigger for all those purposes. This one is well made, looks great, and the wireless charger is very easy with my iphone, even while in its case. I dont even need to center it in the charging pad, which was my only fear. I can lay my phone anywhere in there and it charges flawlessly. If you are looking for a gift for your dad, I would not hesitate.
