About INDIBA Radiofrequency
35+ Years of Research 448kHz Frequency
A New Era for Equine Performance & Rehabilitation
Bespoke Treatments
Every horse or pony will receive bespoke, tailored INDIBA treatments to suit them and their own needs and requirements
35+ Years of Scientific Research
INDIBA has over 300 scientific papers published in leading journals. It’s effects are longer lasting than any other electrotherapy
448kHz
Frequency
448kHz is the optimum frequency for biological effectiveness - both thermal and non-thermal effects can be induced
Closed Operation System
The closed operation system significantly increases the treatment penetration depth, enabling deeper structures (e.g. SI Joint & deep gluteals) to be reached
Pain Relief
Analgesic effects of INDIBA Radiofrequency are caused by altered signal transduction pathways.
Scientific studies have shown horses treated with INDIBA Radiofrequency experienced up to 95% reduction in lumbar back pain
Increased Muscle Flexibility
The thermal effects of INDIBA Radiofrequencey’s resistive mode have been scientifically shown to significantly increase muscle flexibility and increase joint and spinal range of motion (ROM)
Improved Joint Health
The electric current generated significantly increases Sox5 and Sox6 transcription factor expression, which are responsible for cartilage formation, thus stimulating cartilaginous matrix formation​
INDIBA Radiofrequency in Practice
INDIBA Radiofrequency is a revolutionary therapy that works by delivering a specific radio-frequency current, set at 448 kHz, that encourages and activates the body’s natural healing mechanisms to improve tissue regeneration and cellular metabolism. This revolutionary and innovative technology helps horses recover from injuries and reduce pain as well as increase performance. INDIBA radiofrequency is a nov-invasive and gentle treatment modality that can be used anywhere on the body (including the hooves), on acute and chronic injuries, over and on joints to improve joint health and can be used in conjunction with PRP and Stem Cell injections.

Who Is INDIBA Radiofrequency Suitable For?
INDIBA Radiofrequency is suitable for:​​
-
Horses recovering from injuries, such as soft tissue damage, muscle strains or tendon or ligament issues
-
Horses undergoing post-surgical rehabilitation, where it helps reduce inflammation and speed up healing
-
Horses dealing with joint conditions or mobility issues - e.g. hock osteoarthritis, sacroiliac dysfunction, etc
-
Horses in need of pain relief or recovery from daily wear and tear
-
Horses recovering or affected by acute laminitis
-
Horses suffering from Sarcoids - Research is new in regards to sarcoids at present (case study below)
​
*NB: INDIBA Radiofrequency treatments require access to electricity at your horses’ location (at home/livery yard, etc) either via mains electric or extension cable (25 metre extension cable can be provided)
How Does INDIBA Radiofrequency Work?
The INDIBA device produces non-ionizing radio waves. These are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves are synchronised oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. The waves produced by the device are at a fixed frequency of 448kHz, this has been found to be the optimum frequency for biological effectiveness (Hernández-Bule et al., 2017).
The INDIBA device uses an electrode and a return plate, usually placed on the sternum. As the system is closed, deeper muscles and joints, such as the sacroiliac joint, can therefore be treated (Kumuran, Herbland, & Watson, 2017), impossible with other modalities.
There are two different electrodes which can be used to provide optimum treatment. The insulated capacitive electrode has a biostimulatory effect but without any heating of the treated tissues, allowing for treatment of acute injuries where heat is contraindicated. The metal resistive electrode provides a heating effect in addition to a biostimulatory effect, increasing blood flow to treated tissues.
​
Biostimulatory Effects
-
Improves microcirculation allowing for an immediate drainage effect
-
Stimulation of cartilaginous matrix synthesis
-
Stimulation of tissue regeneration
-
Electrostimulatory action on stem cells
​
Thermal Effects
-
Increased tissue temperature (diathermy)
-
Vasodilation of treated tissues and increased blood flow
-
Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis
-
Increases basal metabolism
