Radiofrequency for Horses

Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency uses a closed electrical circuit to address pain and inflammation in the body. Because it works in a closed circuit, it can treat deep structures such as the spine, SI joints, and deep muscles that other modalities cannot reach. Radiofrequency recruits stem cells and helps stimulate tissue repair, making it an excellent tool for rehabilitation or performance recovery. There is no down time post treatment, and effects are felt immediately.

Radiofrequency is ideal for:

  • Horses with body soreness, especially neck, back, and SI

  • Horses with soft tissue injuries (acute or chronic)

  • Horses with joint pain or stiffness due to arthritis

  • Horses who are sore post competition
