Horse joint pain is something that has never crossed my mind. I have a horse Semper and never really thought about him getting sick or experiencing pain. When my beautiful pet Semper seemed to be aching, I had no clue where to begin. Fortunately I came across the Animal Fitness Center website of Dr. Ava Frick. I learned that animals, even horses, can be susceptible to diseases and illnesses that are also experienced by humans. If I did not take my equine to Dr. Ava Frick so soon he might of had horse paralysis and I would have never forgiven myself.
Ava Frick explained that horse joint pain is actually pretty common once they become over 15 years in age. Just like us, their tendons can wear down and ache in cold weather. I have had Semper since I was 14 and am realizing that he is growing old too and experiencing horse arthritis and stiffness and swelling. I had not noticed that he was in so much pain and had been suffering for quite some time already. I still let him endure hours of practice and even burden him with too much physical activity as I ride him to go around our farm every day.
Equine joint pain is usually treated with medications and drugs. I know that pain medication and drugs can be harmful to my horses organs. I really just wanted to make sure Semper was treated with alternatives to medication. Good thing Dr. Ava Frick also supports different types of therapy and pain management programs that are all natural. Another thing I liked about Animal Fitness Center is their holistic approach to easing discomfort and pain of animals. They are not only concerned about eradicating pain using gadgets and devices, but they are also concerned of the proper nutrition needed to hasten the recuperation of the problems and diseases of the animals in their clinic. I was truly relieved to see how my horse was cared for during his stay at the Animal Fitness Center.
I really appreciate the animal chiropractic care that Dr. Ava Frick was able to provide for my horse. Treating an animals condition in this matter targets the actual problem and doesn't just mask the symptoms. Medication can treat horse joint pain but it doesn't treat the problem just the pain felt from it. Aside from massage therapy, my horse was also subjected to PST Vet (Pulsed Signal Therapy), which is a non invasive type of pain management that not only helps alleviate pain but also boosts the functionality of problematic areas. Within a few weeks of care at Ava Frick's Animal Fitness Center, Semper showed great improvement.
