Pain & Healing Therapies

Electro Equiscope© Microcurrent Healing
  • One of the most effective services we use at PROformance Advantage to alleviate pain, accelerate healing, and increase flexibility is the Electro Equiscope®.  With attachments touching the affected area, the Equiscope’s restorative, focused microcurrent auto-corrects abnormal electrical patterns in nerves and connective tissues — speeding recovery by increasing circulation, decreasing inflammation and relieving pain.

Cold Laser Therapy
  • Cold lasers are ideal for healing soft-tissue injuries and managing pain in your performance animals. When applied properly, lasers have been shown to cut healing time down by as much as half compared to many traditional wound treatment and lay-up options, while increasing the quality of repaired tissue at the same time. FDA-cleared for effective results, this portable, super-pulsed laser can be used to:
  • Speed healing of bruises, hematomas and cuts
  • Reduce mental and physical stress
  • Treat cold sores, ulcers and other persistent non-healing wounds
  • Manage trauma caused by bone chips
  • Manage hoof conditions, including abscesses, bone spurs, inflammation, navicular syndrome, ringbone and laminitis
  • Reduce inflammatory conditions, such as acute or chronic otitis (ear problems), anal gland inflammation, periodontitis (gingivitis, hot spots, lick granulomas), idiopathic cystitis (bladder inflammation), sinusitis and rhinitis (nasal problems)
Game Ready System
  • Game Ready Equine speeds recovery and helps your horse perform at his peak, delivering dry cold and active compression. This modality is great for chronic and acute lameness, cellulitis, tendonitis, pre and post operative care, bowed tendons, stock-up legs, wind puffs and much more.
Osteopathy
  • Osteopathy is a manual therapy used to restore mobility throughout the entire body, as well as, bringing optimal vitality and homeostatic balance by looking at the horse as a whole. It works by addressing the mobility of the parietal, visceral and cranial-sacral systems. This holistic approach works to understand the problem and find the root cause. Osteopathy is known for not only being used for visible issues but also behavioral, sickness, sudden changes in performance.  We often see horses whose issues are there but the cause continues to be unknown.
