What can an ArcEquine be used for?<\/h4>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n
\n

The application of microcurrent therapy aims to support the body\u2019s natural repair process and to help it trigger the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ARC Microtech products should never replace any medical advice and should not be used if cancer is present or you think it may be present just for safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What evidence is there that microcurrent therapy works?<\/h4>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n
\n

There are many peer-reviewed research publications supporting the efficacy and safety of microcurrent therapy. There are also many case studies showcasing significant benefits that users have experienced from using microcurrent therapy to treat a broad spectrum of conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How quickly will I see results?<\/h4>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n
\n

Due to the vast number of variables and individual differences, every horse will respond differently to microcurrent therapy. This is why we cannot provide any guarantees or suggest timescales. Users typically experience a notable improvement within the first 6 weeks, with many experiencing improvements within a shorter period of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do I know that the ArcEquine is working?<\/h4>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n
\n

The applied microcurrent supports the processes that are occurring naturally within the cells of the body and are below the levels of sensory perception. Therefore, there should not be any noticeable feeling or sensation when using the device. The green flashing light on the delivery unit will reassure you that the device is working correctly and that a good connection has been established.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are there any side effects?<\/h4>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n
\n

Microcurrent therapy may cause a slight dehydrating effect. Please ensure that horses have access to fresh drinking water at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If inflammation is a natural reaction, why does the device aim to reduce inflammation?<\/h4>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n
\n

The device does not prevent inflammation or interfere in any way with the natural healing process. Instead, the microcurrent therapy aims to promote the body\u2019s natural cellular processes in order to facilitate the healing process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can an ArcEquine be used instead of veterinary treatment?<\/h4>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
