Dear Friends…please, please, please join me in donating to help our friends Full Circle Farm

SUCH a deserving group that could really use some help now. 17 broodmares who’ve done their jobs, now need us to do OUR jobs and make sure they’ve got enough hay to get them through the next month.

No rescue or sanctuary should ever have to go without. Even a $2 donation makes an impact!!

One of the (many) reasons we chose the Piezowave shockwave therapy device is because it's MUCH quieter than the other product on the market, which can make a big difference with sensitive or nervous horses.

👉 Releases “Substance P”; reduces pain naturally
👉 Angiogenesis; creates NEW blood vessels and exerts an anti-inflammatory effect
👉 Antibacterial effect; destroys or suppresses bacteria growth
👉 Releases growth factors; rapidly increased healthy cells in blood, tissue, and bone

The , the latest in (ESWT) - shockwave therapy that uses acoustic pressure waves to help stimulate the body’s natural healing process

➡️ Has an analgesic effect, providing pain relief
➡️ Releases growth factors and stimulates stem cells speeds up healing
➡️ Increases microcirculation significantly improves blood flow

Piezowave2 is proven to be effective at treating:

👉 Neck, back and SI pain
👉 Soft tissue injuries
👉 Sore feet
👉 Recent injuries
👉 Arthritic joint

The #1 question I get from people about is "How does it work?

Here is a great explanation!
Acoustic sound pressure waves create a pulse, that causes a sudden pressure spike that travels throughout the tissue. Cells respond to sudden pressure changes with alarm, (just like a person would to a thunderclap), and release distress signals, which trigger the body’s healing response.
Shock wave therapy keeps the body’s repair process going until the injury is completely healed.
