Question 3

INDIBA Radiofrequency treatment only

Accepted Answer

Follow on INDIBA only therapy for treatment for specific injury rehabilitation or performance enhancement if recommended after initial assessment.

Does not include a full assessment and palpation of the whole horse - only specific target areas as per your bespoke plan.

£65 for one area only, + £10/additional area
Discounted packages available, see below.

How often will my horse need to be treated?
INDIBA therapy has an accumulative effect and thus in most cases/scenarios for optimal results an initial block of 4 - 8 treatments administered once per week is recommended.
 
Following this, each horse can be very different. The frequency of follow-up treatments can vary depending on what is being treated, whether it is an acute or chronic issue, the daily routine of the horse, the workload, husbandry etc.
 
In acute injury cases, we generally treat on a weekly basis until re-scan/re-examination by the referring vet.
 
In chronic cases, this will largely depend on the individual horse and the workload, but in most cases, one session every 1-2 months will maintain treatment efficacy - this is where our treatment packages of monthly, 6-weekly and 8-weekly sessions are most efficient and cost effective.
