Abstract

Veterinarians w orking w ith performance and pet horses on a daily bas is have tremendous interest in drug-free pain relief and management of the very common musculoskeletal problems that these horses may experience. In an initial study carried out on 142 horses in 2005, it was demonstrated that horses responded dramatically to LifeWave® Energy Patches.

In this study, 137 out of 138 horses with mild to severe back pain, responded favorably and showed consistent pain relief manifesting more observed energy and power. O ther published double-blind placebo-controlled.

Conclusion

This study was designed to be as objective as possible. The results were beyond anything we could have expected. After trying various placements, we settled on the three points that seemed to be particularly

effective in many areas as shown on the images. The study was designed to prove there was a measureable physiological effect from the application of the patches.

There are many hundreds of points that could have been used. The results of this investigation are very significant and provide a useful discovery for the people who use the patches on their horses. The relief in some of the horses’ performance and function was exceptional. The owners gave great feedback for many of the horses. IceWave® Patches provide an effective,simple, and drug-free means to reduce pain and help horse owners with a safe, self-administered pain management option of their animals.

The Lifewave® Patches produced a highly significant cooling effect in the areas affected by pain in horses of varying ages and breeds. We were very pleased with the positive feedback from most of the horse owners. They noticed changes in their horses, in some, very profound positive changes and better attitude. Almost all of the owners mentioned that their horses were calmer and seemed happier the next day.

The IceWave® technology promises to have a very profound effect in helping horses with their every day aches, pains and distress. This drug-free pain management too will improve performance in many cases and seems to give very elderly horses greater energy and relief from painful conditions.
