MagnaWave machines work by creating a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) through the animal’s body to promote overall health and wellness. Without the use of drugs, PEMF has been shown to help reduce inflammation and pain, without harmful side effects. MagnaWave has deep roots in the equine industry and has worked with some of the most accomplished horses and riders.

HOW DOES PEMF HELP A HORSE ON A CELLULAR LEVEL?
PEMF helps a horse on a cellular level by stimulating the cells to accelerate activity and expedite the flow of oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously accelerating the disposal of toxins and waste products. MagnaWave PEMF also increases blood oxygen at the cellular level. This allows the cells to be healthier and perform as they should. PEMF helps a horse by improving the metabolic rate of each cell. Impaired cell metabolism can lead to decreased performance levels and injuries. By helping to regenerate damaged or diseased tissue, MagnaWave PEMF helps a horse “kick-start” the recovery process to minimize downtime due to injury or illness.

HOW DOES MAGNAWAVE HELP A HORSE TO RECOVER?
MagnaWave PEMF helps a horse by alleviating pain and increasing circulation to help with laminitis, founder, and a host of equine ailments like abscesses, tendon injuries and more.
MagnaWave can be used on the commonly troubled areas where injury, joint pain, and arthritis are likely to be found. MagnaWave helps a horse by placing coils on the withers, back, shoulders, stifles, and hindquarters where the pulses can stimulate these troublesome areas. Muscle tissues palpitate in sensitive areas showing specific areas where your horse is experiencing pain. This enables MagnaWave to help a horse in a targeted area. MagnaWave is thought to aid faster healing and provide improvement of symptoms of metabolic disorders and joint complaints. Because of the deep penetration of the pulses, MagnaWave helps a horse by effectively relieving deep muscle soreness. Horses have risks of sprains, joint aches, and minor strains when ridden that could lead to lameness and impact performance if left untreated.
HOW DOES MAGNAWAVE HELP A HORSE IN COMPETITIONS?
MagnaWave helps a horse to stay active and healthy.
Many trainers and owners use MagnaWave before and after performances. In this video, trainer Dallas Keen talks about why he used MagnaWave. MagnaWave helps a horse in the cool down routine by assisting post-work recovery and reducing the soreness associated with muscle strain and lactic acid build up. MagnaWave helps a horse to train at its best, compete to its fullest and bounce back from injury or work as quickly as possible. MagnaWave relaxes the horse, reduces aches and pains, and improves general wellness. Several of the Kentucky Derby winners have received the benefits of MagnaWave. Dr. Christine Woodford founded Veterinary Integrative Performance Services (VIPs) because of her interest in lameness and performance horses and study of alternative modalities. She uses MagnaWave to help horses in competitions to perform better and recover faster. MagnaWave is non-invasive and used as an alternative to drugs. MagnaWave is safe to use and does not require sedation. Besides being popular at race tracks and arenas, MagnaWave is also popular with trail riding enthusiasts. MagnaWave helps a horse to stay active and healthy. There are many testimonials available that help answer “How does MagnaWave help a horse?”

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis.
Horses With EPM
Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a neurological disease that affects the central nervous system in horses. Not only is EPM detrimental to the horse’s health, it can affect performance as well. When a horse is diagnosed with EPM, it leads to months of medications and recovery time, which can alter plans for training and shows. It is essential to have a veterinarian involved with the process to determine the best medication and plan for the horse.
What is EPM?
EPM stands for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. Protozoa are single-cell organisms that contain a nucleus and derive nutrition from the host. EPM is typically caused by the ingestion of the protozoan sarcocystis neurona from contaminated feed or water. The protozoa undergo multiplication in extra-neural tissues and then attack the central nervous system. The common signs of EPM include depression, atrophy, obscure lameness, ataxia and paresis, and personality change. Any of these conditions can impact everyday behavior and athletic performance in the arena.
The main definitive host in the United States is the opossum. The opossum obtains the protozoan by consuming tissue from an infected intermediate host. There is a brief prepatent period, then the infected sporocysts are passed in the feces, then ingested by the horse.
How MagnaWave Can Help
MagnaWave can help the horse with several sessions to relive some of the discomfort and inflammation associated with EPM. According to the Merck Veterinary Manual, “Protozoa may be found in association with a mixed inflammatory cellular response.” PEMF can penetrate down to the cellular level making the membranes more permeable to stimulate movement across the membranes. This can help provide comfort for the horses. We recommend waiting a full week after the medication cycle is complete before beginning sessions. Make sure to talk and consult with your veterinarian as some recommend sessions during the medication cycle to optimize the absorption and utilization of what is prescribed. Horses may never fully recover from the damage caused by EPM and can have lasting effects for the rest of their lives. MagnaWave may be a continuous plan to help the horses feel their best and get back to performance!
USING MAGNAWAVE FOR LAMINITIS IN HORSES.
Laminitis is a crippling condition that can affect all members of the equine family. This condition can be found in one or all four hooves and is extremely painful for the horse. Basically, laminitis is the inflammation of the sensitive laminae that connects the coffin bone to the hoof wall. Since the laminae is responsible to suspend the coffin bone inside the hoof, when inflammation occurs, the bond is not as strong and can result in the downward rotation of the coffin bone. The laminae are connecting the coffin bone to the hoof wall. Since the hoof supports the weight of the horse, when the laminae becomes inflamed and irritated, the bond is weakened, then the coffin bone can rotate downward and potentially penetrate the sole of the hoof. MagnaWave PEMF technology can help reduce the inflammation in the laminae by increasing blood flow and oxygen content down to the hoof. Obtaining adequate blood circulation down to the hoof is essential to help the laminae strengthen the bond between the hoof wall and coffin bone. Involving a vet and farrier is always recommended when dealing with laminitis, they can help track the rotation of the coffin bone and provide comfortable shoeing.
There are many causes that can trigger laminitis in hoses, including obesity, metabolic problems, excessive grain, pasture with high sugar content, and even black walnut wood toxicity from shavings. Common signs include warm hooves, strong digital pulse, and reluctance to put weight on the forelimbs to just name a few.
