How MagnaWave PEMF Supports Horses with Navicular Disease
What is Navicular Disease?
Navicular disease affects the navicular bone and surrounding soft tissues in a horse’s hoof, primarily the front feet. This area is known as the “navicular apparatus.” A horse with navicular disease experiences degeneration or inflammation in this region, leading to pain and lameness. While the condition is commonly referred to as “navicular syndrome,” it’s important to note that it’s not always a single disease but can result from various factors.
What Causes Navicular Disease?
