I get the "how many treatments" question a lot, and it truly depends on the horse. I do believe that something is better than nothing because the body is going to heal in one way or another. We can at least help it heal correctly.
Injured horses- we can’t live with or without them and I’ll say that they’re designed to die…
Whether it’s a performance injury or the way they’re made or something dumb they decided to do on their own time. We have to address it. I personally get a lot of post op cases and open wounds. Open wounds are much easier to rehab in my opinion. You can visually see the progress and with it being visual, it answers most questions. The question in question.
💥How many treatments will it take? 💥
If your horse has been diagnosed by a vet to have 3-6months time off, or what ever length of time, I will not challenge the vet’s recommendation. Especially on cases that have been found per a MRI. These cases are the hardest because you can’t visually watch the progression. My acuscope helps follow the progression with my digital readings. But even then when the body starts reading great, that doesn’t mean we are healed. I mean maybe in some cases with vet confirmation but realistically, no. It means that we have addressed the cellular function and have the body addressing the injury accordingly. Reducing inflammation ALWAYS helps the body heal better and in some cases faster. Back to the simple question, I don’t know how many treatments it’s going to take. We can certainly challenge your vet’s recommendation and treat them daily, but that’s where they come to stay with me and they’re still going for a recheck. I can certainly come 1-2x a week, but I’m not guaranteeing that it’ll make or break your injury or the condition of said horse.
We as technicians can only do so much with what is presented. Even best case scenario and with a bottomless check book, it all comes down to how the horse wants to heal. Sorry to say. No one has a magic 🪄 wand.
