The
Future of Healing Equine Athletes: Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine is an intelligent
technology that can be implemented in the field. What follows
is a video series of Dr. Thaler's interesting journey to
learn more about harvesting and implanting stem cells in
horses. Dr. Thaler traveled to Vet-Stem Inc. in California
to provide you with the "inside scoop" on stem
cell isolation and culturing. The discussion with Vet-Stem's
founder, Dr. Bob Harman, and Dr. Thaler is very informative,
educational and exciting for horse owners. Dr. Thaler also
introduces IRAP therapy which he has been performing in
the field since 2006. He shares his insights as a field
practitioner about the ease of application in the field.
