Protocol Of Treatments

Navicular/Podotrochlear

Pressure: 90 J
Frequency: 15 Hz
Number of shocks: 2000
Contact head diameter: 15mm F
Number of treatments: 4 to 6
Frequency of treatments: weekly

Position of the horse:
Standing, limb treated in partial flexion. Or secure a position that is comfortable for the patient and allowing sufficient access to the treated area.

Explanation of the treatment:

To allow maximum conduction of the shock wave pulse from the tip of the applicator on the skin, it is recommended to shave the treated area and to distribute a uniform amount of ultrasound gel throughout.
The treatment is administered dynamically by the direct contact of the applicator on the painful area.
Before starting therapy on the patient, apply a few pulses to the air next to the animal to observe its reaction to the sound of the shock waves.
Start the application around the most painful area and then after a few dozen pulses, go directly to the problematic area.
In this area you can apply the remaining 2000 pulses which will need to be spread over the entire surface to be treated.
If the treatment is well tolerated you can increase the pressure of the applicator in the tissue. Finally, you can also increase the therapeutic pressure to 110J
In bilateral limb disease you can apply another 2000 pulses to the contralateral end using the same protocol.

Note:
Rest is recommended after shock wave therapy. The first two days after treatment, walking is acceptable. From the third day he is authorized to trot at a slow pace. The application of shock wave therapy causes a biological process that resembles acute inflammation which will later cause an intense acceleration of healing. This is why rest is inevitable the first days after the operation.

Side effects:
Side effects from shock wave therapy are not very common. In the event that they do appear, they usually go away overnight. The most common side effects are:

Temporary change in sensitivity in the treated area - hypersensitivity or mild pain. -Temporary and localized swelling.

Contraindication:
Extensive swelling in the area. Application on the head, neck and directly on the spine. Sensational deficit in the focal zone. Disorder with blood clotting or while using anticoagulants. Thrombosis, cancer tumor diseases. Acute infection.

Warning: APPLICATION OF SHOCK WAVE THERAPY MUST ALWAYS BE PRECEDED BY A COMPLETE CLINICAL EXAMINATION. ULTRASOUND OR RADIOGRAPHY MUST ALWAYS BE DONE BEFORE TREATMENT OF ACUTE INJURY. THESE TREATMENT PROTOCOLS AND ITS INFORMATION SHOULD BE USED ONLY AS AN ORIENTATION GUIDE.

Explanation of the treatment:

To allow maximum conduction of the shock wave pulse from the applicator tip onto the skin, it is recommended to shave the area to be treated and distribute an even amount of ultrasound gel throughout.
The use of the more focused transmitter is recommended in this indication.
The treatment is administered dynamically by direct contact of the applicator on the painful area. - before starting therapy on the patient, apply a few pulses in the air next to the animal in order to observe its reaction to the sound of the shock waves.
Begin the application around the most painful area and then after a few dozen pulses, go directly to the problem area.

Treat around the spine with about 3000 pulses. Distribute the impulses evenly over the entire area, but absolutely avoid direct application to the spinous processes of the spine!
If the treatment is well tolerated you can increase the pressure with the applicator in the tissues and change the pressure to 140J.

Side effects:
Side effects from shock wave therapy are not very common. In the event that they do appear, they usually go away overnight. The most common side effects are:
