Chronic Progressive Lymphedema

◊◊
TREATMENTS:
We started Cytowave Inflammation/Maintenance treatments on Keegan’s rear legs where the CPL was most
severe. The Inflammation/ Maintenance treatment is a thirty minute noninvasive treatment. We treated the rear
legs, using a dual application with foreleg therapy boots. The boots were placed on top of the coronary band
with coils on the side of the legs. The therapy boots, coils and Cytowave equipment were applied and administered
by Emily.
RESULTS:
DAYS 1-7
▶ A noted decrease in inflammation / swelling in the rear legs was observed after four (4) days of treatments.
▶ Circulation and lymph flow appeared to have increased and there was a marked decrease in the size of the
cannon bone.
▶ The nodules and folds are softer, and more pliable, not as hard to touch. There is a little dampness and oily
feeling in the back of the hoof.
▶ The therapy boots are easier to apply, due to the swelling in the legs subsiding.
At the end of first week of treatments, Keegan was more relaxed and visibly comfortable. He is more active when
Emily turns him out in the pen to exercise and Keegan, has started to canter for the first time in 4 years.
Note the shaved area on the hoof on the image to the left. This is where the canon bone was measured daily. The
other two images show the nodule formation and the swollen cannon bone on Keegans leg.
