During times of war, horses have always been regarded as reliable and trustworthy friends of man in battle. Today, horses are still man’s best friend, and they are our companions on our early morning off-road rides. However, horses tend to be injured, stiff and sore on a regular basis, and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is a good treatment for horses to relieve suffering. PEMF therapy can be used to reduce pain and inflammation, increase circulation, accelerate natural healing and promote tissue regeneration.
PEMF is a charged electromagnetic field used to stimulate cellular structures, the gentle magnetic field generated by the PEMF device can induce electrical currents in the body of the horse, in this way, PEMF therapy helps regulate blood flow, promotes cellular function, stimulates regenerative processes, accelerates nutrition Absorption of substances and removal of waste products from injury and inflammation. PEMF therapy gently yet effectively induces microcirculation at the cellular level to force ions, nutrients, oxygen, waste and fluids into and out of cells. In addition to physical stimulation at the cellular level, additional biochemical mechanisms are stimulated to increase macrophage formation to help further fight pathogens.
PEMF therapy is deeply penetrating, which makes it very effective in treating horses. PEMF therapy for horses can help address problem areas not easily accessible by other methods, including the head, temporomandibular joint, upper neck, hamstrings, and psoas muscles. In particular, the pulsed electromagnetic field has the ability to penetrate the hoof wall, which can not only promote the circulation in the hoof layer, but also promote the circulation deep inside the hoof. PEMF therapy can be used not only to treat one specific condition, but also for general health maintenance, and by scheduling regular PEMF treatments for horses, we can protect them from injury by strengthening the function of their muscles and bones. PEMF therapy is a safe and non-invasive way to recharge your horse’s body and enhance its natural ability to heal itself, plus, PEMF therapy has no known side effects. Numerous clinical trials have shown that PEMF therapy is effective for the healing and maintenance of horses. Some of the health conditions commonly suffered by horses that we can treat with PEMF therapy include:
- Tendon and ligament injury
- Back pain
- Chronic hock soreness
- Non-union fractures
- Laminitis
- Hoof abscesses
- Stone Bruises
- Non-healing wounds
- Arthritis
Horses seem to instinctively know that PEMF therapy is good for them and tend to be naturally attracted to it. Currently, Miramate’s Big Magic and Mini Magic are two popular PEMF devices on the market. For acute injuries, we recommend using Mini Magic, which is designed for short-term treatment, so it can quickly and effectively relieve pain and swelling of damaged tissues. For chronic health conditions and overall health maintenance, the Big Magic with special PEMF pads is the best choice to help treat horses, the frequency of the Big Magic is the primary Schumann resonance frequency of 7.83 Hz, which is the natural frequency of the earth, for long-term healing very safe.
