Although still in it's infancy in the equestrian world, scientific research has shown that microcurrent technology works in treating humans. The transition to the equestrian world has so far created a huge interest with horses
Human medicine techniques often make their way into the equine world, and one such treatment is electrical stimulation with very low voltages for pain relief and faster healing of soft-tissue injuries. While microcurrent technology has been in use since the 1930s for humans, the first stimulation devices for horses did not appear until the 1980s. Over the years, techniques and micro stimulation devices have been refined, with the most significant advances occurring in the last decade. An increasing number of veterinarians, equine therapists, and horse trainers are using microcurrent therapy
Micro current therapy has been used on equines for twenty plus years with thousands of horses treated with great success. Used for sore muscles, muscle spasms, ligament and tendon injuries, recurring mild laminitis, sore hocks, stifles, abscesses, splints, sore shins, swollen legs, confounding lameness problems, any area with inflammation or pain.
