  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 rep...

  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 ...

  Subzero Cryotherapy utilizes CO2 at -110 °F (-78C) at very high pressure to deliver a very targeted and extremely effective treatment. The treatment time is short and can produce immediate pain relief in your horse’s joints, including the hock, stifle, back, foot, pastern, and fetlock. Subzero cryotherapy reduces inflammation that can sometimes hinder movement and improve the range of motion in the legs’ tendons and ligaments. Many equine veterinarians that practice natural horse care use joint supplements and horse liniments, in conjunction with cryotherapy, to provide a more holistic and drug-free treatment option. Compared to an ice boot or ice bath, targeted Subzero Cryotherapy treatment offers immediate results. When aimed directly at the injured or inflamed areas, there is an immediate reduction in tissue temperature. This reduction triggers an internal response that increases circulation, slows nerve conduction, and alters sensory receptors, ultimately reducing inflammati...

  The rotator cuff is a system of muscles and ligaments in the shoulder that keep the shoulder joint in place and allow the wide range of movement that the joint is able to perform. Injuries to this area are a common occurrence , with some two million Americans visiting their healthcare provider due to problems with this body part each year. Some people are more susceptible to rotator cuff injury than others are. These include: People over the age of 50 Those who participate in overhead sports like baseball, volleyball, and swimming Those who perform repetitive motions in their job, like construction workers, painters, factory workers, and similar People who do strenuous workouts involving their arms on a regular basis. The more repeated stress you put on the area and the wider range of motion you use while doing so, the greater the risk of damage. Stages of Rotator Cuff Injury Luckily, many of these injuries heal on their own, but it depends upon the level of progression that has ...

  The G5 Equitec massage device is an infrasound (<20 Hz) generator. Transmitted to matter, they generate longitudinal mechanical waves, that is to say they oscillate in the direction of their propagation: this consists in a succession of compressions and decompressions of the matter. Their propagation is rectilinear. To be effective deep down, these infrasonic vibrations must be applied perpendicularly to the tissue and at very low frequencies (<20 Hz).   The Directional-Stroking When using the G5 Equitec, the lower the motor frequency, the deeper the vibratory waves will penetrate into the tissue. On the other hand, the higher the motor frequency, the more superficial the treatment, inducing hyperhemia and local increase of blood and lymph circulation.   This simple vibratory technique, tried and tested in human medicine for 50 years, fits perfectly within the variety of equine osteopathy and veterinary treatments, thus constituting a consistent and effective var...
