How to Choose Horse Back Pain Treatment
Back problems are common among all horses, but they’re particularly prevalent in performance horses. In order to keep your horse healthy and at their peak abilities, you need to know which back pain treatment options are right for them.
Sheets, Blankets and Pads: For cost-effective, non-invasive back pain treatment, sheets or blankets with sewn-in copper, ceramic or magnetic fibers are an excellent choice. By reflecting heat back to your horse’s body, these therapeutic options ease soreness and stimulate circulation. A ceramic therapy saddle pad keeps your horse’s back loose during competition, and a magnetic sheet can ease arthritic discomfort in the stable or trailer.
Balms and Poultices: Cooling balms and poultices can be applied directly to areas of soreness, including your horse’s back, withers and hips. Ideal before or after exercise, therapeutic balms can be combined with wraps or sheets for additional benefits.
Active Therapies: Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy makes the Centurion® System an excellent horse back pain treatment that’s easy to use. Other active therapy options include microcurrents that stimulate ATP production and speed healing, and Equine Light Therapy that targets soft tissue issues.
