Misty: Bowed tendon
Owner: Lauren Nethery
Cherry Valley, CA
Misty bowed her tendon in a
riding clinic. My vet diagnosed the condition, and told me the first thing we
needed to do was lessen the inflammation. We went to work on her bow with ice
packs, painting on a DMSO+medication, wraps and of course, no work. After some
of the swelling went down, my vet wanted to go to a blistering agent, to bring
heat to the area and increase healing. I went as far as to purchase the
blistering product, but wasn't looking forward to using it. I had treated a
horse before for a bow and blistering makes them sore and unhappy. I wondered
if there was another way to stimulate healing in the area without having to put
her, and me, through that.

I called Nancy and talked with her about the
Acuscope/Myopulse therapy. She said she had been treating horses with bowed
tendons, as had many other therapists around the country, and that it worked
very well. While Misty wasn't lame, her bow was still very visible and she
certainly couldn't handle any work. We started her treatments immediately and I
noticed she really enjoyed them, closing her eyes and falling asleep during the
sessions. In less than ten days, the visible swelling was virtually gone! We
continued her treatments per Nancy's schedule, and with my vet's approval, and
within two months, she was looking really good. I rested her for another month
and started her walking after that. Right now, she is in reconditioning
training using round penning and light riding and doing just great. The
condition resolved itself in less than half the time expected.
Electro-Acuscope/ Myopulse Therapy really does speed healing, and with no pain
or discomfort to the horse. I am glad Nancy lives in my area so I can use her
again, should the need arise.
