Relieve osteoarthritis in horses with Thermequin and Dead Sea mud

Osteoarthritis is a degeneration of the cartilage of the horse's joints and this disease is progressive, chronic and irreversible. It does not necessarily affect old horses and can appear at any age and can appear in both sport and leisure horses.

Your veterinarian can diagnose this pathology by performing an X-ray to observe the erosion of the cartilage.

The erosion of the cartilage leads to a progressive change in the bones and associated tissues and its alteration prevents it from playing its role as a shock absorber.

Many causes can be at the origin of this pathology.

The main ones are defects in plumb line and joint conformation, the aging of the horse, repeated joint trauma, soil not adapted to the required efforts, fatigue and excess weight.

Veterinary treatments

Once the diagnosis is made by the veterinarian, he will prescribe a treatment for your horse to treat the inflammation and relieve its pain. Anti-inflammatories can be administered either orally or intravenously. Other injection treatments can also be prescribed depending on the horse's condition.

Natural solutions to support your horse suffering from osteoarthritis or to prevent it

Since no treatment can cure osteoarthritis, it is therefore important to take care of your horse from a young age in order to avoid or delay the onset of osteoarthritis.

To do this, you can limit joint trauma by working on suitable ground and by adapting the effort to the ground but also to the physical condition of your horse without going to the threshold of physiological fatigue.

A gradual conditioning is therefore essential by seeking a good balance of the horse in order to balance the force exerted on the different joints.

On the other hand, warming up must be taken into account in order to prepare the muscles, joints and tendons for the effort....the walking time before work is essential for a well-started warm-up.

We now come to EXTERNAL CARE.

We offer a natural and effective solution with DEAD SEA MUD, THERMEQUIN EARTH.

Even if we cannot go back on the installation of osteoarthritis, mud therapy and Dead Sea mud offer your horse a real moment of comfort that is much appreciated.

The mud will also act on the tendons and muscles that surround the affected joints in order to relieve compensation tensions.

For the horse already suffering from osteoarthritis, applying mud regularly provides real comfort.

Your sport or aging horses will thank you!

As a preventative measure and in regular use after work, it helps repair micro-lesions related to exercise thanks to its high concentration of minerals and particularly Magnesium (24%).

This remineralization is very beneficial for tissue recovery.

In addition, the fact that the presence of Magnesium is natural allows it to be quickly absorbed.

This absorbed magnesium helps increase circulation, reduce inflammation and start the regeneration process at the cellular level.

THERMEQUIN TERRE helps to unclog the joint and relieve joint pain due to its natural anti-inflammatory properties.
