Device using PBM, IR-B, and EMF therapy launches in US

A medical device that uses a combination of photobiomodulation, infrared B light, and electromagnetic field therapy to detect and treat injuries and illness in dogs is now available in the US veterinary market after more than a decade of use in Europe. The device, called Body Energy Solution Technology-BOX (BEST-BOX), is designed to evaluate a dog’s condition in minutes through noninvasive scanning and encourages regeneration and health through targeted stimulation with light, frequency and neurostimulation therapies, according to EQUUSIR, the company that developed the technology.

According to the Austria-based company, the technology, which is also available for horses, can treat conditions that affect the gastrointestinal, thoracic, pelvic, musculoskeletal, cervical, cerebral, and central nervous systems. The company says issues with the stomach, liver, skin, urinary system, immune system, orthopedic concerns, endocrine disorders, inflammation, and pain have been addressed with the BEST-BOX. The technology also supports emotional regulation, helping manage anxiety and stress, EQUUSIR noted.¹

According to EQUUSIR, system generates a digital report analyzing the energy flow in the body and showing interference fields at the cellular level. The report can be used to “determine causes and take preventive measures” and help veterinarians track progress and shape individualized treatment and training plans over time.²

EQUUSIR is a company that focuses on performance and rehabilitation technologies through holistic health for animals. The organization was founded by Gerold Reinwald after he experienced a severe sports injury that ended his career as a competitive skier and led him to question whether complete healing and regeneration was possible.

“After an injury ended my skiing career, I spent more than 30 years studying health,” Reinwald, CEO of EQUUSIR, said in a company press release.¹ “This led me to create the BEST-BOX, our signature product that’s proven to enhance the health and performance of dogs and horses. After seeing how this product changes the lives of companion animals, the entire EQUUSIR team is excited to bring the BEST-BOX to veterinarians in the United States.”

According to EQUUSIR, the BEST-BOX is most effective when used in a 3-day treatment period. On the first day, a session lasts approximately 24 minutes and includes a 2-minute initial assessment, followed by a 20-minute application of light-based and neurostimulation therapies and a 2-minute post-treatment evaluation. On the second day, dogs receive a 20-minute follow-up treatment tailored to their needs, along with another 2-minute assessment. On the third day, a final 20-minute customized treatment is administered, after which veterinarians discuss longer-term care recommendations and potential maintenance plans for the patient.

Jaime Pickett, DVM, chief medical officer of EQUUSIR, said the technology is intended to provide noninvasive support under veterinary supervision. “As a veterinarian, I am excited to bring the BEST-BOX to the US market," Pickett said in a release.¹ "These proven therapies are safe, effective, and non-invasive. For example, Harper, a dog with long-standing skin allergies that previously required daily medications, experienced steady improvement after completing therapy with the EQUUSIR BEST-BOX, with itching and inflammation resolving over time. With veterinary oversight, the dog was gradually able to discontinue allergy medications and remained comfortable, active, and flare-free using the BEST-BOX as non-invasive ongoing support.”
