What is the best treatment for a horse with a tendon injury?

Treating a horse tendon injury requires a combination of controlled rest, laser therapy, hydrotherapy, and regenerative treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or stem cell therapy. At Advanced Equine Recovery, we customize rehabilitation plans using state-of-the-art therapies such as water treadmill therapy and cold saltwater spa treatments to speed up healing and prevent re-injury.

How long does it take for a horse to recover from a ligament injury?

Equine ligament rehabilitation varies depending on the severity of the injury, but most cases take 3 to 12 months for full recovery. We use targeted exercise programs, ultrasound therapy, and laser treatments to promote collagen repair and improve flexibility.

What are the most effective therapies for horse joint pain?

Horse joint therapy often includes shockwave therapy, joint injections (like hyaluronic acid or PRP), hydrotherapy, and chiropractic care to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Our facility offers customized rehab programs to support joint health.

How can you tell if a horse is suffering from lameness, and what treatments work best?

Equine lameness solutions begin with a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause—whether it’s navicular disease, arthritis, soft tissue injury, or hoof imbalances. Treatment options include corrective shoeing, therapeutic exercise, laser therapy, and aquatic therapy.

What is the best post-surgery recovery plan for horses?

Horse post-surgery recovery depends on the type of procedure performed. A structured recovery plan typically includes stall rest, controlled hand-walking, physical therapy, and gradual return to work. Our state-of-the-art rehabilitation center offers hydrotherapy, massage therapy, and laser treatments to accelerate healing.

Cryotherapy for Horses

What Is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a therapeutic treatment that uses controlled cold temperatures to reduce inflammation and pain in injured tissue.

Cold therapy has long been used in equine care, but modern cryotherapy devices allow targeted cooling that penetrates deeper into tissue while maintaining precise temperature control.

Benefits of Cryotherapy for Horses

Cryotherapy provides several important benefits during recovery:

• Reduces inflammation
• Decreases swelling
• Provides pain relief
• Supports tissue healing
• Improves recovery after intense exercise

This therapy is particularly useful during the early stages of injury when inflammation is highest.

Common Uses for Equine Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is commonly used for:

• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Acute inflammation
• Joint soreness
• Muscle strain
• Post-exercise recovery

Many performance horses benefit from cryotherapy treatments following intense training or competition.
