What is Equipod
The Equipod system was developed by a company called Nurokor. The Equipod uses advanced microcurrent treatment programmes to enhance equine recovery, manage pain & promote optimum performance.
EquiPod utilises Nurokor's signature microcurrent stimulation to provide a non-invasive, yet highly effective form of treatment that is known to address a diverse range of equine injuries and conditions. Better yet, this is all delivered through one versatile device that combats both acute and chronic issues and associated symptoms.
What is Multi-Frequency Microcurrent
Microcurrent therapy is a non-invasive, yet highly effective treatment modality, that is known to provide significant benefits to a diverse range of equine injuries and conditions.
Microcurrent therapy primarily utilizes subtle electrical currents to prevent and treat various injuries. These microcurrents restore balance to a horse’s cellular system. When cells are healthy, it allows for a pain-free internal environment. Pain relief is almost instantaneous.
Multi-Functioning
Much like humans, the equine body has numerous functions involving endogenous bioelectrical activity of cells and tissues, including; the brain, skin, muscles, heart, etc. The electrical activity was discovered many years ago, but now, with modern techniques, the existence of these electrical pathways has become well established. Natural bioelectric activity also plays a role in processes such as; the transmission of pain in nerves and wound healing. By applying carefully selected microcurrents at a similar level, we can now better support the recovery of wounds and most types of tissue related injuries.
In its simplest form, microcurrent aims to facilitate naturally occurring bioelectrical processes that are essential to the wellbeing of cells, tissues and body systems. This means that regardless of the type injury or condition, virtually all horses could gain significant benefits and improvements from using this technology.
When To Use Microcurrent Therapy
Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation
Microcurrent therapy is most commonly used to help treat acute injuries and shorten recovery time. It provides safe and effective pain relief for muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints without NSAIDs and other drugs. Microcurrent therapy increases circulation, reduces inflammation, stimulates the horse’s natural healing processes, and speeds up recovery time.
Daily Injury Prevention
There are some preventive measures we take for our horses, such as the application of overnight standing bandages. This helps to increase circulation, reduce and prevent swelling, and prevent stress on the lower leg. Topical microcurrent patches can be applied to any structure of the horse’s lower leg under the standing bandage. While your horse rests, the microcurrents promote circulation and establish a healthy, pain-free internal environment.
Also, suppose your horse gets sports massage or chiropractic therapy. In that case, you can ask the practitioner to identify areas throughout the horse’s body where microcurrent therapy could help with soft tissue stress.
Preparing for Competition and Recovery
Incorporating microcurrent therapy into your equine athlete’s pre-competition routine can help ensure your horse feels his best. Microcurrent therapy can help prevent next-day inflammation, swelling, and lameness. It can help your horse recover faster between classes, especially for multi-day horse shows.
Each treatment phase aims to provide a different therapeutic outcomes, in order to provide multiple benefits and advantages within each programme. This cannot be achieved from using other basic forms of microcurrent which are limited to single frequencies. The EquiPod is the only equine device that provides advanced multi-frequency microcurrent in all of its treatment programmes. These have been formulated into the EquiPod app for three distinct purposes:
