Medical study on radiofrequency therapy in horses
Short-wave therapy, a method used in human medicine since the 1930s, was first adapted for use on horses by Equine Balance in Wangen im Allgäu in 2023. Through various trials, the safety and effectiveness of the Equine Balance radiofrequency therapy full-body system have been medically substantiated.
Equine Balance positively influences the metabolic parameters of horses, treats musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis and myositis, and alleviates both tension and neurological regulatory disorders affecting the synapses. This technology provides a revolutionary tool for animal care, which is not only applicable in veterinary clinics but also in horse stables, stud farms, and among horse breeders.
The effectiveness and safety of Equine Balance have been definitively proven via a medical study. We will be happy to assist you if you have any questions or suggestions.
Endogenous thermotherapy for horses
Equine Balance’s endogenous thermotherapy for horses is based on the emission of electromagnetic waves that induce heat generation in the muscles and periarticular tissues. This deep heat positively affects tissues with varying fluid content, including adipose tissue, tendons, and bones. It is suitable for various applications, including:
- Improving blood circulation with an increase in nutrient and oxygen supply
- Promoting metabolism through improved blood flow and increased internal temperature for enhanced intracellular energy conversion
- Improved cell balance in the treated areas (fibroblasts, osteoblasts, adipocytes) and repolarization of the cells
- Transition of the extracellular matrix from pathological to physiological
- Improving venous and lymphatic flow for more efficient removal of toxins and metabolic by-products
Metabolic effect of the radiofrequency system for horses
As part of the medical study, the horse’s metabolic values were measured via blood tests. The clinical evaluation clearly shows, among other things, that the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum amyloid A (SAA) values in the examined horse decreased significantly and the phosphorus and potassium values were slightly lower as a result of the radiofrequency therapy. This confirms that Equine Balance enables constructive adaptation at the metabolic level.
Orthopedic and general effects of radiofrequency therapy for horses
In total, over 700 treatments were carried out on various horses as part of the clinical examinations. All animals with mild to moderate gait disturbances showed a noticeable improvement after the initial treatment with Equine Balance, which was deemed significant after further sessions. For example, a mare with a mild limb lameness was completely treated with just two applications of radiofrequency therapy.
