INDIBA is a monopolar radiofrequency device, operating at 448KHz, which has found to be the most optimum frequency based on over 300 scientific references.
The technology has been around for more that 3 decades in the human medical field, and 80% of premiership football clubs use it, but is still considered an emerging technology in anmial health, despite the wealth and volume of excellent research and clinical outcomes.
From the INDIBA website:
"INDIBA® Animal Health activates the body’s natural mechanisms to regenerate and rehabilitate, through cellular biostimulation, improvement of blood flow and pain relief. In addition, because it works in a closed circuit, it allows to reach greater depths where other therapeutic modalities do not."
Because it works in a closed circuit, it can treat deep tissues, which other electrotherapies / electrophysical agents such as LASER, pulsed magnetic field therapy, shockwave etc. cannot reach.
So as well as being excellent for the treatment of superficial tissue, wounds, oedema, bruising, muscle, tendon and ligament damage (the research speaks for itself!) It can also be used for conditions such as kissing spines and other back dysfunction, sacroiliac dysfunction / disease, and fractures. It can even be used over areas with metal implants. It can be used very effectively for the management of arthritis, particularly in the hocks, and for general performance enhancement.
This year we have treated a horse that went from severely lame with an 80% tear of his peroneus tertius tendon, to stepping over poles with a rider on in 12 weeks. Distal limb tendon injuries are typically back in ridden work after 18 -24 weeks depending on the severity and the frequency of treatments. The modality is fantastic for wound healing and reducing inflammation. We have had great success improving the appearance of scar tissue, and healing chronic wounds that had previously refused to close. All of the horses we treat for hock arthritis at present are off bute and no longer require joint injections. We have had a number of patients with kissing spines, and Indiba is great for both post-operative healing, and the management of inflammation and pain in conservatively managed horses. The list goes on! You can see some of the results on our social media pages, and get in touch if you would like to know more!
P.S. Most insurance companies will cover the cost of treatment!
