| I love it and believe it works but you need multiple treatments to get the soreness out. | |

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | All the therapies are usually used multiple times to achieve best results, and used in combination with other things. I like what I've seen, and of course use it in conjunction.

| I will tell you I bought one in January and it is the best money I have spent in a while. It doesn't have to be used multiple times to get results at all some horses/people get a treatment and are good for months or maybe in for good others need more time to heal. I myself had chronic headaches that were severe after about 4 treatments in Jan/Feb I have only had a handful of minor headaches and none of the ones that were migraine like. I tore a knee up a couple of years ago that was causing me daily pain I was amazed at how quickly it felt better . I have very little pain now and if I do I give it a zap and it is gone. I was actually getting to the point where I was not sure I could ride anymore. I also injured my hip this spring and could barely walk it took about 4 days or treatments a couple times a day but it healed up quicker than I thought. I also have both shoulders that are damaged , I could no longer sleep in a bed due to pain and my arms would go to sleep it is so much better now, not a cure of course but has improved my daily life and I do not treat myself very ofter. I also used it on a friend who has MS, RA , cancer , and this spring had a blood infection, and some other issues like a perforated ulcer, and serious migraines that she was going to the ER for help. We got her back out and living better, her headaches are mostly gone, has not had one in 4 months, her feet we better and laying flatter , the RA makes them crunch up and curl kind of, her overall pain relief was better. She had been coming to me for a pain in her belly and back while she waited for an appointment, she was unable to eat and in terrible pain. We would treat her and the pain would subside and her appetite would come back at least enough to get something in her. Our local hospital misdiagnosed her terribly and I made her go to a better one, they said the therapy actually helped save her because it was helping fight the infection she had going on. The dr was impressed with the healing we had started. Sorry for the ramble !
In March I had a mare get sick, after testing it was determined she had peritonitis and was pretty bad. They told us she would be in clinic for 4 weeks in she survived at all. I treated her everyday the first week,I worked her over using acupuncture points and whole body . My vet let me take her home to treat there because she had improved so much, we continued the IV antibiotics and other meds she was on for another week. We tested her again at the end of two weeks and her levels were back to normal, he said even better than a lot of healthy horses. We treated with meds for another 3 days while he was gone but she was home and healthy way faster than normal. She even gained weight.
I got called to work on a horse who flipped herself over, seizure and could barely stand. The vet wanted me to work on her along side him. I was not told what he found to see if we noticed the same things. I found a spot on her same spot the vet found an issue it turned out to be a fracture. We continued to treat for 4 days, after the first one she was walking better after the second she was no longer using the wall to hold her up. They are riding her now. It was very interesting to see how the horses react to it if you pay attention you can see a lot going on.
I use it on all the horses we ride and run some get it once a month or just when ever they look a little stiff. I have one mare we do 3 times a week when running hard, she has sore hocks, hips and had a breathing issue. This year she had no issue with breathing no coughing and wheezing, first time in several years I have not had to treat her with something for that. I have also noticed that chiro adjustments are holding much longer. The horses love it and I am a big believer in it. I do pay very close attention to the horse while I work on them though and I keep notes on what they are doing, how they are fed, rode ect. I have really been amazed by it I just call it voodoo. I know it is not a cure all but it dang sure serves a purpose. Sorry I got long winded here if you want to know anything else you can pm me. | |

Location: Piedmont, OK | I've had it done on me when I was at a race and my back and shoulder (which I had had surgery on) were hurting bad and I was in a lot of pain. the treatment itself was uncomfortable in those sore spots but helped tremendously. And it made me really tired. I went to the trailer and took a nap and felt like a million bucks an hour later! I love it. I use it on my horses when it is available. | |
