Beyond Rest and Pain Killers
EquiTread: Beyond Rest and Pain Killers - A Superior Solution for Equine Lameness
Lameness, often measured on a scale of severity, can significantly impact a horse's quality of life and performance. Whether it's caused by degenerative joint disease, ligament strains, weak topline, tendon sheath inflammation, trauma, connective tissue bruising, or even an anterior cruciate ligament injury, traditional treatment options like rest and pain killers often fall short in providing long-term solutions.
EquiTread's water therapy emerges as a superior alternative, offering a multi-faceted approach to healing and rehabilitation that goes beyond merely masking the symptoms.
