Iontophoresis is the application of medicated patches (veterinarian prescribed) to the skin which are activated by small amounts of electrical current.
Iontophoresis is noninvasive and provides a trans-dural (through the skin) delivery of medications. This therapy does not cause tissue damage and does not cause the infections needles may.
Benefits and Applications of Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is an effective treatment because it helps to smooth the rough edges of calcified joints (i.e. ringbone, kissing spine, hocks, etc.) and calm irritated ligaments (i.e. an ankle’s annular ligaments).
Equine Bodywork is not a veterinary service but a cooperative form of treatment. It should not be considered an equivalent or substitute for regular veterinary care. Bernardo Equine Therapy does not diagnose an injury or prescribe medications for your horse.
