Tendon disorders
Tendon disorders in horses are very common, and are usually associated with long periods of inactivity and high costs. Tendon issues can vary widely, and be accompanied by in flammation, calcification, tears or complete ruptures of the tendon. Problems can affect the superficial digital flexor tendon, the deep digital flexor tendon, the suspensory ligament or the extensor tendon. Usually the horse shows a clear lameness and there is a visible “tendon arch” or swelling. Exact diagnostics are essential in order to locate the injury and determine its seriousness, before beginning the appropriate therapeutic measure
Behandlung mit dem NOVAFON
Neben dem Gelenk selbst spielen vor allem die zugehörige Muskulatur und die Triggerpunkte eine Rolle. Mit dem NOVAFON kann aber die gesamte Kaumuskulatur unterstützend behandelt werden, um die muskuläre Dysbalance auszugleichen und die Bewegungseinschränkungen zu reduzieren.
Treatment with NOVAFON
For some tendon disorders, depending on the severity of the disorder, you should clarify with your veterinarian what the best treatment is.Treatment with the NOVAFON should last a total of 10 – 15 minutes and can be repeated daily. Always start with the lowest intensity. Inflamed tendons should not be treated directly. At the beginning you should only work on the muscular structure – the so-called actors – above the corresponding tendon.

Joint symptoms
The joints of the extremities can also show very different clinical pictures. Bruises, trauma, inflammation and osteoarthritis are not uncommon, and are often associated with lameness and severe swelling. As with knee symptoms, it is very important to make the correct diagnosis so that appropriate therapeutic measures can be initiated.

Treatment with NOVAFON
With the NOVAFON, you can treat all joints and the surrounding areas in a supportive manner. Treatment with the NOVAFON should not exceed a total of 10 – 15 minutes and can be repeated daily. The intensity setting should be individually adapted to each horse, as every horse perceives the vibration very differently. Only treat the peripheral area, do not place the NOVAFON directly on the swelling or the joint.

Step 1 — Stroking the actors
In the first step, set the device to vibration level 1 and use the disc attachment on the marked area. You can work in either a stroking or continuous circular motion. The direction of treatment plays a subordinate role – pay more attention to whether the horse is relaxed and is allowing its muscles to relax. Depending on the condition of the coat, it is recommended that you work in the direction of the coat growth. Treat each area for 2 to 3 minutes
Step 2 — Treatment of stress points
Use the ball attachment to work directly on the trigger points. It is best to feel for the trigger points with your fingertips at the marked areas. To treat these areas, connect the ball attachment, select Level 2, and adjust the intensity accordingly. Treat the trigger points for about 1 to 2 minutes each, either by applying light pressure without moving or in small circular movements. After this, treat the next sore area.
Step 1 — Treating sore muscles
Using the disc attachment, slowly smooth out the adjacent muscles, thus ensuring that you stay in the area around the joint. Start with level 2 and adjust the intensity accordingly. Start with the lowest intensity. Treat each area in small circular movements for about 1 to 2 minutes. Then treat the next area.
Step 2 — Circling around the joints
In the second step, set the device to vibration level 1 and use the disc attachment on the marked area. You can work in either a stroking or continuous circular motion. The direction of treatment plays a subordinate role – pay more attention to whether the horse is relaxed and is allowing its muscles to relax. Depending on the condition of the coat, it is recommended that you work in the direction of the coat growth. Treat each area for 2 to 3 minutes.
In der Anwendung einfach und angenehm. Ich habe bisher die besonders beanspruchte Kiefermuskulatur behandelt (Zähne-Knirsch-Problematik). Sehr angenehm und entspannend! (...) Ich nutze es regelmäßig und gern! 1, 2 Anwenderin S., 15.02.2017, NOVAFON power
