  RICE, or sometimes PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation) has been the standard modality of care for musculoskeletal injuries for nearly four decades. It was first introduced by Gabe Mirkin in his Sportsmedicine Book in 1978. The term caught on and was taken as law throughout the last 40 years by athletes, doctors, and physical therapists alike. While the basic principles are sound as far as immediate treatment of an acute injury, there are some problems with the practice. Compliance tends to be low due to the difficulty of repeatedly applying messy ice bags to an area several times per day. Attempting to hold the bag or pack in place with an elastic bandage offers mediocre effectiveness at best, making the compression factor inconsistent and thus fairly ineffective. It’s difficult to maintain this routine while trying to attend to one’s obligation such as home, family, and work. More often than not, people tend to turn to painkillers such as NSAIDs or even narcot...

  Like any other living being, horses are similarly prone to multiple illnesses. As a horse owner, it is your key responsibility to have a sharp eye on your horse’s health. The best way through which you can identify any disease which is troubling your equine is to identify even a slight change in your horse behavior . If you notice even the very slightest change in your equine’s behavior, you need to consult your horse’s veterinarian. Early identification of any disease is very helpful in treating it. However, sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between the normal behavior & illness signs, that is the reason we have listed a few points here to help you do early identification of your horse’s diseases. Have a look at the following signs: Horse’s Behavior Whenever a horse is sick, the common sign by which you can identify that your horse is sick is that your pony becomes less active & tries to be in a secluded place. Don’t forget to pay attention to your horse’s ear. ...

  The Quad 45W Laser Class IV Device allows for accelerated healing, exceptional pain relief, and rapid post-surgical recovery. Accelerated wound healing Anti-inflammatory Effective pain relief Reduced recovery time Increase in blood oxygen levels Enhanced cell function Our device uses electromagnetic rays at red or Near InfraRed (NIR) wavelengths. The laser enables precise and accurate treatments to reduce inflammation and pain, and promote recovery. How it Works The Quad Orthopedic equine laser uses diodes to emit InfraRed laser beams in either continuous or pulsed phases. The continuous mode enables a gentler treatment of more superficial conditions, such as tendon and ligament injuries. Super-pulsed mode enables intensive treatment, with the intervals adding safety by preventing heat generation. The beams are carried via a fiber optic cable to the treatment wand, which is aimed over the skin using the red light aiming beam. As treatment is delivered, infrared light penetrates ...

According to the CDC ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ) more than 50 million people undergo inpatient surgery each year. While surgery is typically performed with the intention of fixing a problem, it also creates a whole new injury – a wound which then stimulates inflammation, which is a major source of post-surgical pain. Some inflammation is good – it is the body’s response to physical trauma and can even stimulate the immune system to prevent infection. But following surgery, you don’t want this reaction to last too long because it prolongs the pain which then in turn prolongs your return to movement, which speeds healing. In addition, the swelling that normally accompanies inflammation can impede recovery and cause serious discomfort. Cold and Pressure for Post-Op Pain Relief RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) is a widely accepted and recommended method of reducing pain and swelling, however compliance can be problematic. Bags of ice melt, requiring replacem...

Equine radial shockwave provides a highly effective treatment for orthopedic and soft tissue injuries in equine sports medicine. Premier treatment for suspensory injuries and ‘kissing spines’ Rapid pain relief and stimulation of cellular regeneration Five probe options enable varied treatment option Acoustic wave 100x higher energy than ultrasound imaging Achieves ‘bundled wave’ penetration of up to 6 cm Handpiece supports over 2 million shockwave ‘shots’. In veterinary or rehabilitation settings, Shockwave addresses musculoskeletal disorders and returns the horse to work within an optimal timeframe. Shockwave is the leading choice of veterinarians, trainers and therapists for ligament and tendon injury, and post-work recovery in elite equine athletes. How it Works The radial shockwave therapy device uses compressed air to accelerate a projectile through a tube, creating a low intensity primary wave as it impacts on the applicator. A parabolic reflector then creates a secondary wave. ...

  Back pain is a serious problem for Americans. By some estimates, as many as 80% of adults in the United States suffer from back pain. In today’s world there are virtually limitless causes of strain and stress to our backs. We’re not nearly as active as our ancestors were, even a hundred years ago but particularly in primitive times when sitting was not the main event of the day. Nowadays whether we’re at our jobs, our homes, or in our cars, everywhere we go we sit. This is extraordinarily bad for the back and can cause chronic pain over time. Other causes of back pain can include: Being overweight and having a weak core: extra weight puts extra pressure on back muscles and the spine. In addition, the core muscles such as the abs provide crucial support to the back. If these muscles are not fit, the back must take much more strain than it should, leading to pain over time. Bending at the neck to look at electronics: this one comes as no surprise. We put undue strain on our necks ...
