How will my horse respond to Cytowave treatments?
When you treat older injuries that have moved into a chronic state, you may find that your horse will actually be more sore or sensitive the day after h/her first treatment. Injuries move from an acute state to a chronic state generally after twenty plus days. This is where the body starts forming scar tissue to help protect the injury site while it heals.
For Cytowave to heal an older injury, it has to move the injury from the chronic state back to the acute state, basically “resetting” the injury. This is why it is extremely rare for a Cytowave treated horse to reinjure itself because we basically bring them back to square one. There are also indications that Cytowave can actually prevent scaring if used early enough in the injury recovery process.
When the patient progresses from an injury state of chronic to acute, the patient may in fact experience a temporary increase in pain due to a "resetting" of the injury.
Typically a patient will not feel any benefit until around the 5th session but as many Cytowave users know, many horses will show results from the very first treatment. Relaxed stance, licking and chewing and other physical behaviors typically consistent with a relaxed healthy horse are common during the first treatment. .
After approximately one week of treatments, a horse will start to really show results as h/she continues to improve and the injury moves from a chronic state to an acute state.
At around six weeks of treatments, the patient reaches a plateau as the body repair processes are "trained" to operate at a heightened level. With all that being said, all of us realize how different horses are from one another. Depending on your horses state of health, age and a variety of other factors, your mileage may vary.
The Stages of Healing
The Acute stage is also known as the inflammatory stage. This occurs immediately after an injury and will last less than a week. Swelling and pain are the hallmarks of this stage and the quicker that one can start Cytowave treatments, the better. Swelling is the body’s response to protect the injured area.
After 5 days or so, inflammation will slowly decrease. Revascularization (“angiogenesis”) is the key to repairing the injury site and healing. At this point, the horse should still be rested to avoid reinjury or further damage to already sensitive tissue.
Chronic stage occurs well after the original injury, generally around three weeks or so. This stage can last a very long time (unless you’re using Cytowave!) as the body continues to remodel the scar tissue and heal. With severe injuries this stage can last years.
Cytowave can help speed healing whether you start at the chronic stage or acute stage. Increasing blood flow, removing detritus from the injured area and taking away the pain.
Chances are you’ve spend a lot of time and money on your companion animal and they deserve the chance to heal well. That’s where we come in.
