◊◊ 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.
These images show the affected areas - note the shave areas to the right that show the reduction in the folds DAYS 7-21 Cytowave treatments used: Tendon / Ligament treatment program. ▶ The continued reduction in inflammation and swelling indicates lymphatic vessels are opening. ▶ Cannon bone swelling also continues to reduce in size. ▶ Folds in the rear of the legs are not has thick and are separating. Folds and nodules are softer and more pliable. ▶ Still some dampness and oily feeling in the crease of the back of the hoof area. Lesions continue to heal and are drier and smaller. ▶ Keegan’s rear legs are not as sensitive in the area of the nodules. Emily is able to massage his legs without any discomfort. ▶ Keegan is noticeably feeling better. He is more active, and runs and bucks in the open pen area. This series of images show the shrunken nodules and folds on Keegan’s legs.
