NOVAFON Plus

NOVAFON Plus - a powerful and wireless sound wave device, especially suitable for the treatment of muscle tension, pain relief and regeneration in both horse and rider!

NOVAFON therapy, which has been successful in humans for many decades, can also be used in our horses and of course in dogs, cats and other animals. The targeted local vibrations reduce pain, relieve tension and normalize movement patterns as a result of box rest or other resting positions, for example due to an injury or illness. Animals often find this mild form of vibration therapy very comfortable and relaxing and you often see them yawning, nibbling or licking during a treatment.

The gentle sound waves that NOVAFON emits stimulate the body's own regeneration mechanisms and relax tense muscles. The vibrations promote blood circulation and stimulate the body's own healing process.

NOVAFON Plus is the most powerful NOVAFON we have, and its 3 intensities make it suitable for both mild pain and pain in the deepest muscle groups. The Plus is therefore ideal for treating horses, with their large, compact muscles.

But you as a rider can also benefit from your new Novafon Plus, as you can also use this form of therapy very well on yourself.

Benefits of local vibration therapy

Compared to massage, local vibration therapy not only treats the muscles from above, but gently penetrates more than 6 cm deep into the tissue. In this way, even deep structures are reached, muscle tone is regulated and blood circulation is stimulated. The muscles are better supplied with oxygen and metabolic processes are stimulated. At the same time, the gentle vibrations locally relieve pain - without the use of medication.

Thanks to the variable intensity from 0.3 - 4.0 mm, depending on the type of device, stimulation can be generated in a very gentle way. Therefore, it can be treated not only on very sensitive body parts, but also on compact muscle groups.

The versatile application options make NOVAFON unique. On the one hand, pain in joints and tendons can be relieved, on the other hand, tension can be relieved and thus the quality of life of your animal patients can be significantly increased.

Use NOVAFON for:

• pain relief
  
• muscle relaxation
• loosening tight tissuek
• muscle stimulation

Please note: This product has a slightly longer delivery time than normal, approximately 5-7 working days. Please call or write for more information! 

More info

The mechanism of action of the NOVAFON devices is based on the 'gate control theory' - a theory of pain processing by Melzack and Wall (1965). Pain impulses are transmitted to the spinal cord by special nerve fibers in the body. The theory assumes that there is a "pain gate" in the spinal cord that decides whether or not pain impulses are sent to the brain.

This gate can be influenced by various factors, for example by new sensory stimuli (such as touch, vibration, temperature, etc.).

With this theory in mind, it becomes clear that pain treatment and therapy is not only successful through medication, but that other therapeutic measures such as massage, vibration, exercise or relaxation techniques can also positively influence pain perception.

With the NOVAFON devices, vibrations with an acoustic frequency are transmitted vertically up to 6 cm deep into the tissue. This deep stimulation overshadows the actual pain stimulus. The local vibration therapy feels like a pleasant massage, but has a much deeper effect.

The signal processing processes for transmitting pain are largely similar in humans and animals. Animals often relax immediately under this treatment, which can also contribute to pain reduction on a mental level.

The stimulation of the blood circulation caused by vibrations makes the muscle structures, ligaments, tendons and vessels available again, which also stimulates metabolism as a positive side effect.

2 frequencies
NOVAFON sound wave devices are certified medical products and work with 2 frequencies whose effectiveness has been proven in numerous studies: 100 Hertz for pain relief and muscle stimulation and 50 Hertz for loosening tight tissue and muscle relaxation. Both frequencies can also be varied in 3 different intensities - from very soft to strong.

The gentle treatment with NOVAFON allows a wide range of treatments from head to toe. This means that even sensitive parts of the body can be treated comfortably.

Vertical stimulation
Due to the vertical stimulation, the effect penetrates deep into the tissue. In this way, the vibrations also reach the deep tissues where the treatment takes place.

NOVAFON devices have a depth effect of 6 cm +, unlike many other therapeutic devices that only provide surface stimulation.

Easy to use
NOVAFON Plus is easy to use, whether you are treating your horse or using it at home on yourself. The intensity can be adjusted up and down depending on the location of the pain, providing deep and effective relief even in large muscle groups.

Thanks to its ergonomic design, it fits perfectly in the hand, even during prolonged use. In addition, it is cordless, so you have freedom of movement when treating your horse. No cords to get in the way during treatment.

Treatment

We think it is important that you first discuss with your own veterinarian which treatment is best for your horse and its problems.

A NOVAFON treatment should last a total of 10 to 15 minutes and can be repeated daily. Adjust the intensity individually to the horse, as the vibrations are perceived very differently, especially in the head area. Always treat both sides. Always start with the mildest intensity and adjust gradually.

Preferably first treat entire muscle (groups) to stretch and relax them, with caressing or circular movements. The treatment can then be continued with light pressure or small circular movements on the stress points.
