Sample treatment protocol for 3-STEP INTERACTIVE PLAN
1. Veterinarian Evaluation
Every horse and condition is different requiring an individualized
treatment program, thus it is important
to first work with your vet to evaluate lameness and the injury, usually
with ultrasound and/or x-ray.
2. Reduce
Inflammation & Alleviate Pain
The initial
course of action for
every injury is to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
Please
read more… Begin immediately
using the Magnopro Equine PEMF full body system using the pen on the
site of injury. Administer the Replenish n Repair
oral supplementation in the feed and the
application of transdermal nutrients in a gel formulation on the wounded
area.
3.
Walking
If lameness
is severe or the injury is a displaced fracture requiring surgery, exercise
is not advisable. Otherwise, Sherry suggests beginning the first phase of
her exercise program by walking the horse by hand for a short period (5
minutes). As the pain and inflammation are reduced, increase hand walking
by 5-minute increments up to 30 minutes. Observe your horse, as he will let
you know if you are increasing his exercise too fast.
At the first sign of recurrent heat,
swelling, or lameness back up in the amount of time walking the horse.
NOTE:
This exercise phase continues for 30 days.
4. Add a Rider on
the Equine
Throughout treatment continue
Magnopro Equine PEMF therapy, Replenish n Repair oral
supplementation and the application of
transdermal nutrient gel. When the outward signs of inflammation and
lameness have resolved, advance the exercise program by adding the weight of
a rider. The rider only allows the horse to walk for periods of 10 minutes,
increasing in 10-minute increments up to 30 minutes.
NOTE:
This exercise phase continues for 30 days so now
you are 60 days into treatment program.
5. Jog or Trot
Your vet should monitor the
healing progress as necessary but always prior to increasing exercise from
this point. Only, and if regeneration has begun, the horse can begin to jog
or trot starting again with 10-minute periods and increasing in 10-minute
increments up to 30 minutes.
NOTE:
This exercise phase continues for 30 days so you
are now 90 days into treatment program.
6. Returning To
Normal Training Schedule
When my vet feels the injury
has healed I gradually return the horse to his normal training schedule. I
allow him to gallop at this point but omit any fast work until there has
been no sign of inflammation for a minimum of 45 days.
At this point of healing new fibers can withstand
near normal stress, although final maturation of tendon and ligament
tissue may take longer.
