In initial testing conducted by the University of Wisconsin Veterinary School, the Sonotron was shown to reduce swelling and increase the range of motion of 49 horses with induced arthritis.
"I find it intriguing that we haven't exactly pinpointed how it works," says Dr. William Crawford, principal investigator for the study. "There appears to be an effect of reducing swelling. It may have something to do with the nerve function, in that it reduces sensitivity to sensory nerves, or it may be changing the permeability of the membranes. But what's certain is that there was a significant difference in the horses given this treatment. |
