Updates in the Scientific Evidence behind the 448 kHz Radiofrequency in Equine Sports Medicine
Published: 8 September, 2024
The document titled “Actualización de la Evidencia Científica de la Radiofrecuencia a 448kHz en Medicina Deportiva Equina” discusses the latest scientific findings related to the use of 448kHz radiofrequency (RF) technology in equine sports medicine. This technique, originally successful in human medicine, has gained traction in veterinary applications, particularly for athletic horses. The report aims to consolidate the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of this therapy in treating various equine conditions, with a focus on its thermal and electrical effects.
Key Learnings:
- Thermal and Electrical Effects: The 448kHz RF technology not only increases tissue temperature, aiding in healing and blood circulation, but also generates specific electrical fields that enhance cellular repair mechanisms. These dual effects contribute to improved recovery in muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint injuries in horses.
- Clinical Efficacy: Studies show that 448kHz RF treatment significantly improves clinical outcomes in horses with tendon and ligament injuries, reduces pain in cases like “kissing spines,” and enhances locomotor patterns, leading to better performance and quicker recovery.
- Application in Equine Sports: The therapy has demonstrated effectiveness in improving stride length, power, and overall athletic performance in horses, making it a valuable tool in sports medicine for both injury recovery and performance enhancement.
For those interested in exploring detailed scientific evidence and case studies on the use of 448kHz radiofrequency in equine sports medicine, we invite you to download the full article. This comprehensive review offers valuable insights into how this innovative technology is transforming the treatment and performance of athletic horses.
IMPORTANT: Diagnosis and treatment of any animal injury or illness should always be performed by a qualified professional.
