Support comfort, mobility, and long-term joint health—with just minutes a day.
Whether your pet was just diagnosed with hip or elbow dysplasia—or you’ve noticed a subtle limp, a hesitation on the stairs, or a skipped walk—this is your moment to step in. Dysplasia can be painful. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Luma uses clinically proven light therapy to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support the joints—right from home. No pills. No stress. Just a gentle, soothing therapy your pet actually enjoys.
Understanding Dysplasia in Pets
Dysplasia is a developmental condition where a joint doesn’t form correctly. The bones don’t sit in the socket as they should—leading to friction, instability, and eventually, damage.
The two most common types are:
- Hip Dysplasia – Often seen in large-breed dogs, though it can affect any size or species.
- Elbow Dysplasia – Especially common in young, growing dogs like Labs, Goldens, and Shepherds.
It might start with a small limp or reluctance to play. But over time, untreated dysplasia can lead to:
- Chronic arthritis
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Muscle loss
- Reduced activity and mobility
- Lower quality of life
Some pets are diagnosed as puppies. Others show signs only in their senior years. But no matter when it starts—early support makes a big difference.
How Luma Helps Pets with Dysplasia
Luma uses red and near-infrared light (635nm and 850nm) to gently stimulate natural healing pathways in the body. The technology behind it is called photobiomodulation (PBM), and it’s backed by decades of veterinary and human medical research.
Here’s how it works:
🧬 Boosts Cellular Energy
Red light stimulates mitochondria—the powerhouse of the cell—producing more ATP, the fuel needed for tissue repair and joint recovery.
🔥 Calms Inflammation
PBM helps reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (like TNF-α and IL-1β), easing pressure and pain in swollen joints.
😌 Relieves Pain Without Drugs
By modulating pain signals and encouraging endorphin release, Luma supports natural, lasting relief.
💓 Improves Circulation
Increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to where they’re needed—helping the body heal from within.
🛡 Protects the Joint Long-Term
Regular treatments can slow down cartilage loss and help your pet maintain strength and mobility.
👉 It’s not just pain relief. It’s repair. It’s prevention. It’s peace of mind.
Try a few sessions—and see the shift.
Antigone went from reluctantly and slowly getting up to go out to standing without apparent discomfort!! The Luma has given “Tig” her quality of life back. I used it daily at first and then cut back to weekly once her healing had stabilized. I started with just treating her hips but progressed to treating other joints that had been overly burdened by her hip issues. I’ll always have a Luma in my home after experiencing the benefits firsthand!!!

“Leo is an 11 year old dog. He was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia about 3 years ago. If you saw his x-rays, you wouldn’t believe he is even walking. We tried PRP and that was a disaster – Leo got worse. Then we started with the Luma. We live in Nicaragua on the beach and he walks 4 miles with me every day and swims for more exercise. I use the Luma every other day and that keeps him comfortable. I can even tell the difference if I miss a couple days. I know that the Luma has extended the life of my best friend.” -Sheri Schmidt

Final Thoughts
