Electrotherapies

At CS Veterinary Physiotherapy we have access to a Class 3B Laser as well as Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. These can be used in conjunction with manual therapy techniques to assist animals with in their rehabilitation and maintenance therapy. .

Equine Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy uses red and near infrared light to produce therapeutic effects on your animal.

The Laser encourages blood flow to affected area which in turn attracts more oxygen and nutrients. This increase in metabolic activity also helps enhance tissue repair, reduce swelling and inflammation, reduce muscle spasms and accelerate recovery.

Examples of conditions it can be used for:

Soft tissue tension or injury
Chronic wounds
Joint injuries/
diseases
Effects from Laminitis
Post- surgical rehabilitation

Examples of conditions it can be used for:

Soft tissue tension or injury
Chronic wounds
Inflammation/swelling
Joint injuries/ diseases
Degenerative conditions
Post- surgical rehabilitation

Equine PMFT (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy)

PMFT makes use of magnetic pulses in order to promote tissue healing and recovery.

It can be used to stimulate osteoblast and chondrocyte growth, support bone healing and cartilage protection. It promotes anti-inflammatory effects and lowers prostaglandin levels which are linked to equine pain.

Examples of conditions it can be used for:

Fracture healing
Osteoarthritis
Soft tissue injuries
Ligament/tendon injuries
Muscle tension/ soreness
Sacroiliac joint issues
