Equine Applications

The equine athlete continually exerts extraordinary amounts of effort. Because of this and their unique physical characteristics, horses are extremely susceptible to an array of athletic related injuries.

Conventional therapies and surgery often treat the aftermath of the injury as opposed to the cause. Surgery results in scar tissue which impedes range of motion and the ability of the horse to return to its previous level of work and athletic endeavor.

Stem cells are extremely versatile and can be applied to soft tissue and joint injuries to aid in the regeneration and rehabilitation process. Stem cells can be used to treat such common injuries as Bowed Tendons or Suspensory Ligament injuries. Additionally, most soft tissue and joint injuries have the ability to respond favorably
to adult stem cell treatment. These types of injuries are extremely frequent in active horses and can often lead to a degenerative disease or a reduction in performance. Stem cell therapy can allow these horses to return to the previous level of activity
and lifestyle.

Protect Your Investment
A horse is an investment. Whether it is a member of the family, an athlete, or used as a sire or broodmare, it is important to make every effort to ensure its well being. Results have demonstrated that the use of adult stem cells may significantly shorten a horse's recovery time and reduce the risks associated with surgery.

• 78% of sport horses treated with adult stem cells have returned to their previous level of performance (2).
• 68% of race horses treated with adult stem cells have returned to race more than once (2).
