Posts Tagged ‘Horse Paralysis’

I never really thought about horse joint pain before. It always seemed to me that horses, especially my favorite pet Semper, is impervious to pain and sickness. So when my gorgeous stallion started showing signs of arthritis, I had no clue what to do. Fortunately I came across the Animal Fitness Center website of Dr. Ava Frick. I learned that animals, even horses, can be susceptible to diseases and illnesses that are also experienced by humans. If I did not take my equine to Dr. Ava Frick so soon he might of had horse paralysis and I would have never forgiven myself.Animal Pain Relief

What Dr. Ava Frick explained to me was that horse joint pain is common to equines that are at least 15 years of age. Just like us, their tendons can wear down and ache in cold weather. Since I got Semper when I was 14 I didn’t think about his aging causing pain, swelling, stiffness and swelling in his joints. I had not noticed that he was in so much pain and had been suffering for quite some time already. I was still putting him through hours of practice and even rode him everyday around our farm.

Medication and drugs are usually given for equine joint pain. I do know that to much medication and drugs can lead to organ failure and problems for my horse. Besides, I want to make sure that the management of my beloved Semper’s problems should be done as natural as possible. Good thing Dr. Ava Frick uses holistic treatments instead of common medicines. Another thing I liked about Animal Fitness Center is their holistic approach to easing discomfort and pain of animals. Not only do they specialize in relieving pain through electronic devices but they also concentrate on the proper nutrition needed for a fast recovery. Besides, I was very happy to see that Semper was given genuine care and affection while he stayed at the Animal Fitness Center.

I really appreciate the animal chiropractic care that Dr. Ava Frick was able to provide for my horse. Treatments like this are targeted towards the root of the problem so they can cure it instead of just treating the pain caused by it. Although medications can ease the horse joint pain felt by Semper, these will not really target to root cause of the problem, they will simply manage the symptoms. Massage therapy combined with PST, Pulsed Signal Therapy, was able to not only treat his pain but also helped the function of his problem areas. In just a couple of weeks under the supervision of Animal Fitness Center, my Semper started to show a marked improvement.Animal Chiropractic
