💓🇨🇦🐴 Stride Equine Veterinary Services

𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬!

No matter your performance horse goals, long term joint management requires a strategy and usually a combination of therapies!

It has only been in recent years that equine veterinary medicine has made huge advancements to offer great alternatives to corticosteroid injections and regenerative, synthetic and steroid injections can all have their place in your horses maintenance program!

At Stride Equine we offer a variety of options but we want to highlight three of our favourites.

𝐏𝐫𝐨-𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐍𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐬

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨-𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞:

Pro-Stride is a regenerative therapy derived from your horses own blood. We use a dual device system to spin the blood and create a concentrated solution of anti-inflammatory proteins, growth factors, platelets and white blood cells.

Pro-Stride addresses the root causes of joint pain by reducing inflammation and promoting healing. It can be used on both joints and soft tissue injuries. Pro-Stride is a safe alternative for horses that may not tolerate steroid injections because of allergies or conditions like Cushings, EMS or Laminitis or for owners who are wary of corticosteroid injections.

The benefits of Pro-Stride can be seen within 2-4 weeks and for up to 12 months!

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐱:

Noltrex is a synthetic 4% polyacrylamide hydrogel injected directly into the joint to manage joint related issues like osteoarthritis. Noltrex forms a protective, lubricating layer on cartilage surfaces reducing friction within the joint and provides long lasting lubrication. It can stabilize the synovial environment and protect the articular cartilage but has minimal anti-inflammatory properties.

Results can take 2-4 weeks in most cases but up to 8 depending on the severity of the joint environment. Noltrex can last 12-15 months or even longer in some cases!

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐬:

Corticosteroids have the strongest and fastest acting anti-inflammatory benefit with results being noticeable within days. They are necessary when you need immediate results (example: in the middle of show or rodeo season)

In an ideal scenario we like to inject a corticosteroid to “put the fire out” and manage any future inflammation with a regenerative or synthetic therapy to promote longevity and promote healing of the afflicted joint!

We are currently requesting donations to assist in the flood recovery for Central Texas. As is our custom, we will wait until the humanitarian need has been assessed before we can move in to help animals in need.

We are working through veterinarians in the area to assess the need and where help can be most useful.

If you would like to donate please visit: www.texasequinefoundation.com

Our thoughts and prayers are with our fellow Texans.
