SANCTUARY :: Skin Infections & Irritations
Cold Saltwater Leg Spa
- Immediate analgesic relief- pain relief due to the numbing effect of the 35 degree temperature salt water.
- Eliminates heat in the legs by closing down the capillaries in the legs and nearly halting circulation.
- The extremely high salt concentration in the water acts as a poultice to draw out inflammation and infection from the wound.
- after coming out of the leg spa the circulatory systems sends maximum blood flow to warm up the legs, increasing oxygenation to the damaged areas and speeding up the healing process
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
-Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the oxygen levels in the horses body 12-15 times the normal amount.
-The increased pressure causes the oxygen to dissolve into the plasma, which allows it to diffuse into the tissue better.
-This elevated oxygen saturation stimulates the turnover of cells, increases blood supply, kills bacteria, enhances the effects of antibiotics, reduces swelling, salvages damaged tissue and bone, stimulates collagen production and improves skin growth.
Solariums-Infra-red light therapy
great for muscle injuries, fitness/conditioning, and weak/injured backs(neck and hips) infra-red light penetrates 4-5 inches into the muscles producing cellular and blood vessel enlargement, increasing circulation and oxygenation and raising performance levels
The solarium treatments helps get rid of skin eczemas, bacterial infections or fungus, increases excretion of toxins/waste products like lactic acids, increases the healing time of wounds and scar tissue, increases the resistance to germs and bacteria,
Horses receiving solarium treatments produce more Agglutinin and Interferon, proteins that increase the immune system ability to reduce influenza and cough.
