Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy for Horses

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has become a popular alternative to drugs for the treatmen of pain and inflammation in horses. It works by using electrical energy to deliver a series of magnetic pulses to injured tissue which then induces an electrical signal that stimulates cell repair.

In particular, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy affects endorphin levels, acupuncture point stimulation, nerve regeneration, circulation, tissue regeneration and tissue oxygen. No one has any definitive answer as to why this works so well, but one theory is that it causes anti-inflammatory processes to occur more rapidly. Through this process, Nitric Oxide is produced, which reduces pain, increases blood flow, and reduces swelling.
