Will the VibraVM treat emphysema?
Yes, the very first horse we tried the VibraVM on had emphysema and some wheezing from RAO/COPD. Due to the emphysema, there were no breath sounds at all in the lowest lobe of the lungs right behind the elbow, where the cinch would go. We did give this mare two 7 minute Low mode treatments about an hour and a half or so apart. The wheezing had cleared up considerably and there were breath sounds in that lowest lobe. Our veterinarian advisor, Dr. Roger Chase, had marked 6 spots around the edge of the lungs, so we took our before and after recordings with an electronic stethoscope at the same spots. In our brochure you will find the analysis of those sounds, which were from a spot in the middle of those we marked.
