Lameness in horses can lead to chronic pain, reduced performance, and even early retirement. Traditionally, soft tissue injuries were treated with extensive rest and controlled exercise, but many horses would reinjure themselves upon returning to work.
At Countryside Equine Hospital, we offer cutting-edge, advanced regenerative medicine to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and aid in the repair of joints, tendons, and ligaments. Our therapies harness the body's natural healing abilities to ensure effective recovery and long-term soundness.
Help your horse heal naturally with innovative regenerative therapies. Give us a call at (770) 787-4711 or book online.
Arthramid® Vet: The Non-Steroid Future of Arthritis Treatment
Arthramid® Vet is a revolutionary injectable therapy designed to provide long-lasting relief for joint disease. Unlike traditional steroid treatments, Arthramid® Vet integrates into the synovial membrane, stabilizing the joint capsule and improving elasticity. This results in reduced inflammation, enhanced joint function, and prolonged comfort. Over 80% of horses achieve "lameness-free status" with Arthramid® Vet, even those unresponsive to conventional treatments.
Benefits of Arthramid® Vet include:
- Increased elasticity and stabilized joint capsules
- Reduced synovitis and improved synovial fluid quality
- Cushioning effect within the joint
- Preservation and regeneration of joint cartilage
- Reduced pain and enhanced mobility
- Long-lasting results—up to two years in clinical studies
Arthramid® Vet is a safe and effective alternative to corticosteroid injections, making it an excellent choice for horses requiring long-term joint health management.
Noltrex® Vet: Articular Joint Cartilage Therapy
Noltrex® Vet is a powerful 4% hydrogel designed to protect and restore articular cartilage in horses with degenerative joint conditions. This innovative treatment fills the gaps in worn cartilage, recruiting water to restore its rigidity and function.
This therapy is ideal for treating:
- Coffin joints
- Fetlocks
- Navicular bursae with arthrosis or cartilage erosion
Noltrex® has been safely used in over one million humans and has a proven track record in equine medicine. Since it is not a drug, the horse's body naturally reabsorbs it, making it a safe and effective long-term solution for joint health.
RenoVō®: A Breakthrough in Regenerative Medicine
RenoVō® is an allogeneic therapy derived from equine amniotic birth tissues. Rich in bioactive factors essential for tissue healing, it provides anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and regenerative properties without harming donor mares or their foals.
RenoVō® is effective for treating:
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Joint disease
- Non-healing wounds
- Corneal ulcers
Key benefits of this therapy include:
- Immediate availability—no need to collect blood or stem cells from the injured horse
- Minimally invasive with a single injection treatment
- Faster pain relief and reduced inflammation within 3-7 days
- Lasts longer and provides better results than using steroids in certain joint injections
Pro-Stride: Natural, Drug-Free Joint Therapy
Pro-Stride is an advanced anti-inflammatory therapy that provides long-term relief for joint inflammation and arthritis. This treatment is derived from the horse’s own blood and is processed in just 20 minutes, eliminating the need for multiple visits.
Additionally, only one treatment is required, with relief lasting up to one year. Pro-Stride is a steroid-free therapy, making it safe for competition horses. This therapy also contains IL1-ra (IRAP protein) and growth factors that support joint healing.
Pro-Stride is an ideal therapy for young horses, insulin-resistant horses, and those unresponsive to steroids.
IRAP Therapy: Targeted Osteoarthritis Treatment
IRAP (Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein) therapy is a cutting-edge approach to managing osteoarthritis. By reducing joint inflammation and slowing the degenerative process, IRAP therapy promotes long-term joint health.
To perform IRAP therapy, blood is drawn from your horse into a specially prepared syringe that will stimulate production of the antagonist protein. The blood is harvested, incubated, and centrifuged to separate the serum (abundant with IRAP) from the whole blood. The serum is then injected into the affected joint once weekly for three weeks. After that time, your horse can return to normal work.
IRAP therapy is particularly beneficial for horses experiencing chronic joint inflammation that has not responded to conventional treatments.
