Against the Odds: B's Recovery from a Hind-End Injury and Acute Laminitis

In June 2025, a 10-year-old mare named B went dead lame in her right hind after a freak accident. She presented with massive swelling in her right groin and tender glute muscles on the same side. After a full vet workup, no firm diagnosis could be made — the two possibilities were either a hairline pelvic fracture or serious muscle damage. B was placed on strict stall rest for two weeks.

Having had great experiences with microcurrent therapy on other horses, her owner reached out to No Scope No Hope to bring Christina in. From the very first session, B was completely relaxed and receptive to treatment — a sign the Equiscope was reaching exactly where she needed it.

A New Crisis: Acute Laminitis

Two weeks into her recovery, things took a dramatic turn. B developed a full-blown laminitis attack, leaving her severely lame on all four feet. The prognosis was not good.

Laminitis is one of the most serious and painful conditions a horse can face. But Christina had a specialized protocol for exactly this situation — focused on reducing inflammation, supporting hoof circulation, and keeping B comfortable while her body worked to repair itself.

Treatment was intense, and recovery was touch and go for a long stretch. What kept things on track was the Equiscope's real-time biofeedback. Every session gave a measurable, accurate picture of what was happening in B's tissues — removing the guesswork from rehab and giving Christina and her owner a clear window into how the mare was progressing.

Eleven Months Later: Back in the Saddle

Within a month of consistent treatment, B was already moving noticeably better. Eleven months after the accident, she is feeling better than ever — her feet are 80% grown out, she's moving as if nothing happened, and her owner is riding her again. As her owner put it, she didn't miss a beat.

Christina was a consistent presence in the barn throughout the entire journey, and the owner credits her as essential to B's recovery. She has since brought Christina in to work on a second horse — with great results already.
