PEMF therapy was literally the saving grace for my horse May. She had blown her tendon in her left front leg. From this injury she had also developed a serious infection in the tendon sheath. After trying to heal her from what our large animal vet suggested without being successful, we took her to Purdue University Large Animal Hospital. At this point May was completely three legged and did not use her left front leg at all. The vets at Purdue looked at her and determine that she will need an MRI to see what is really going on inside her leg. The MRI showed that she healed the original injury of blowing her tendon but the infection was SO bad that even surgery may not fix it. Purdue suggested we put her down. They didn't think surgery was going to be successful. Putting her down was not an option, so we went ahead with the surgery. They cleaned out the sheath as much as they could and put her on heavy antibiotics and kept her at the hospital for almost a month.

When we brought her home the infection was gone but she was still three legged, we had a lot of work ahead of us. The vets who preformed the surgery told us that her tendons may fuse and she may always be three legged. They suggested that we walk her three times a day for 5 minuets a day for the first week and increase the time by 5 minuets for each consecutive week after that. We followed their instructions to a T and added some homeopathic remedies of our own. One of these "remedies" that we added was PEMF Therapy. Michelle was great, she came down to the barn every week and spent time working on May. May seemed to love the therapy because she always looked like she was going to fall asleep while being worked on. Each week that Michelle came down the leg was exponentially better. We continued this therapy until you could hardly tell May had been injured.

When we took May back to Purdue for her recheck about one year from the surgery, they were astounded. They preformed an ultrasound on the injured leg and found that the tendons had not fused and she had full use of her leg. They asked us what we did and we told them PEMF Therapy. Luckily Michelle had come with us to demonstrate to them what it is and explained why it helps. This therapy has helped her so much that we have been given the clear to begin riding a horse that Purdue wanted to put down because they thought she would never be able to walk again. PEMF Therapy was quite literally the saving grace for my horse. I would recommend this to any human or animal that has been injured, no matter the severity.
