EquiCryo Therapy
Advanced "Thermal Shock" Recovery | Located at Hansen Dam Horse Park
State-of-the-art clinical recovery is now available on-site. Utilizing the FDA-registered SubZero device, we deliver pressurized liquid CO₂ at -110°F to create a rapid "Thermal Shock." This advanced therapy flushes inflammation, manages pain, and accelerates soft tissue healing in just 90 seconds—saving you the cost of a vet farm-call for routine maintenance.
Available for all Hansen Dam resident horses and trailer-in clients.
The Science: Why it only takes 90 seconds
Traditional icing takes 20 minutes and only cools superficially. The SubZero uses pressurized CO₂ to drop the skin temperature to 39.6°F in under 30 seconds. This extreme, rapid cooling creates a Thermal Shock that triggers an immediate physiological reflex in the horse's body, delivering four principal effects:
Anti-Inflammatory: Rapidly cools the tissue and flushes toxins and edema from the area.
Analgesic: Slows nerve signal transmission to provide instant, natural pain relief.
Vasomotor: Forces rapid constriction and subsequent dilation of blood vessels, flooding the area with oxygen-rich blood.
Muscle Relaxant: Reduces muscle spasms and tension by slowing nerve activity.
