Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Pegasus Equine Rehabilitation and Training Center is one of the few equine hyperbaric medicine centers in the country. This revolutionary medical treatment increases the horse’s ability to recover from serious injury and enhances the healing of chronic disorders by hyper saturating the body with oxygen. This exciting adjunctive therapy has made significant improvements in equine care, and in the treatment of multiple conditions not previously possible. The results have been nothing short of remarkable.

When an equine athlete is placed in the chamber, the tissues’ concentration of oxygen increases by 15 times normal. This allows the venous and lymphatic systems to operate more effectively by taking away the fluid that causes swelling or edema and bolsters the effects of antibiotics to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself at a much faster rate.

Conditions aided by this therapy include trauma to legs or body, bone and soft tissue infections, slow-healing wounds and abscesses. Soft tissue edema, respiratory conditions, exercise induced pulmonary bleeding, Colic, gastric ulcers, and stem cell therapy are also effectively treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
