WELLINGTON EQUESTRIAN // FEBRUARY-MARCH
Healing Naturally
Marcus came to Cytowave
by way of Arlene White
o f t h e A n i m a l Re h a b
Institute in Loxahatchee,
Florida. A horse owner
had approached her because her horse
had multitple issues and there was no
consensus among the vets treating him
as to what the issue was. No one could
identify why her horse was lame but they
could identify a number of issues. Cellulitus
and a problematic SI were some of
the issues plaguing Marcus. The owner,
Heather, had taken Marcus to a number
of hospitals and specialists in Canada.
She was understandably frustrated at the
thought of losing her beloved Marcus to
conditions they couldn’t even identify.
Arlene provided Cytowave a thick file of
all the treatments and a letter she had
received from Heather. She hoped that
Cytowave could help. Cytowave reached
out to Heather and offered a unit for her
to use. Heather began treatments and the
progress was slow but noticeable. Heather
continued the treatments and sent Cytowave
weekly reports on his progress,
all guardedly optimistic. Her last checkup
with Cytowave consisted of video of
Marcus jumping, something he has never
done before in his life. And this from her
veterinarian:
“There appears to be differences in both
the left and right SI joint spaces from July
to September
– There is mineralization in the left jt on
the Sept. exam which was not present (or
not seen) in July
– The right joint had a large mineralization
(osteophyte) in July, which is not
readily visible in the Sept. exam and the jt
space appears more normal on the Sept.
exam, compared to the July images.”
There are numerous Cytowave success stories across the equine
landscape.
MORIAH
This is one of the worst lesions that
Cytowave had ever seen - 70% of the
horse’s tendon was torn and after six
weeks of treatment, the owner was getting
frustrated with the lack of visable
results. Finally, after eight weeks of
daily one hour treatements, the swelling
and inflammation subsided and the
injury healed well enough to begin
rehabilitation. After 13 weeks, she was
out in the pasture exercising and today
enjoys a normal life as a retired equine
athlete.
