I wanted to take a minute to talk about to try & clear up some of the misinformation I’ve heard recently, which I’m sure comes down to people just not understanding…
Firstly; PEMF is •not• a replacement for veterinary care, or equivalent to chiropractic, manual therapy, light/laser therapy, theraplate, acupuncture/pressure ~ all these are different. The place to start if your horse has a problem is •always• your veterinarian ~ no alternative therapy will fix a veterinary issue even if some may help function and bring accelerated healing. Vet first!
From the alternative therapy group; all of the these techniques have benefits to the horse depending on the circumstances. Most of us equine professionals are very much on working together, bringing our skill set to the party for each horse 🦄
PEMF is used in nearly every competitive equestrian discipline for equine performance, maintenance & recovery.
PEMF has beneficial effects in soft tissue injuries, sore backs, joints, laminitis/founder, abscess, stone bruises, arthritis & non-healing wounds as just a few examples.
PEMF (regardless of the brand!) is a safe & effective, drug free modality.
High powered PEMF devices for horses generate results at an accelerated rate & can be easily adjusted for optimal level of pe*******on. They are not •bad• or •dangerous•!!
PEMF promotes cellular exercise, which increases circulation/blood oxygenation, while reducing inflammation, which can bring relief from pain & fatigue.
Using MagnaWave sends a pulsating charge through tissues to provide energy to large or focal areas like joints and major muscle groups. Pe*******on of the charge can be up to 16 inches into the equine body depending on the attachment & setting.
Twitching muscles can help to identify imbalances or soreness that needs to be further worked on, however our goal is •never• to over fasciculate tissue! As with all things, less is More!
There can be •contraindications• to PEMF & other therapies; please ensure your equine professional has adequate training in their modality & is insured!
