Let's Put Some Spring In Those Steps! 🌼

Joint injections are a common procedure in equine medicine to address conditions such as joint disease and osteoarthritis.

Over the last few years there have been new therapies, such as those listed below, that have become increasingly popular- and effective. Let us go through them together!

ProStride APS

ProStride APS is a biologic option that uses a combination of your horse's white blood cells, platelets, and serum proteins to promote growth and reduce inflammation.

A small volume of blood is spun down on site to concentrate the beneficial factors and reintroduce them into the joint.

Alpha2EQ

A new, one of a kind biologic option named after the active molecule behind the science- Alpha 2 Macroglobulin (α2M). This molecule captures the harmful enzymes responsible for cartilage damage and removes them from the joint.

The Alpha2Eq system produces enough of the concentrated molecules to inject multiple sets of joints or to be kept and injected in the future if needed.

What is a biologic?

The term biologic refers to the fact that the molecule(s) or product(s) involved occur naturally in the body. Biologics are a great alternative to the use of steriods.

Noltrex

Noltrex focuses on restoring the lubricating properties of a joint by using a synthesized, high molecular weight gel to act as a cushion.

It is often used in combination with other treatments to reduce inflammation and improve the results of the Noltrex.

Beyond Osteoarthritis: ‘Other’ Causes of Joint Disease

Early diagnosis and proper treatment of these joint problems can make the difference in whether the horse can be restored to soundness.

An estimated 60% of lameness is caused by osteoarthritis, so that means 40% of lamenesses are caused by something else.

Q: How long do joint injections last?

A: Every horse and situation varies but typically, benefits should last 6-12 months.

Q: Will my horse need joint injections forever?

A: Just because your horse had joint injections, doesn't necessarily mean they will need them forever. Each horse is different and some may only need help here and there while others need a little more to continue at their expected level.

Q: How do I plan injections around a show schedule?

A: Typically, peak performance occurs at around 14 days after joint injections.
