Pro-Stride FAQs

What Is Pro-Stride?

Pro-Stride is a natural joint injection product made from your horse’s own blood that provides pain control and anti-inflammatory effects.

Are There Any Side Effects with Pro-Stride?

Pro-Stride is safe to be used in joints for repeated use with no long-term risks.

How Is Pro-Stride made?

The blood is processed to create a concentrated product of your horse’s own growth factors, anti-inflammatory proteins, platelets, and stem cells.

How much does Pro-Stride Cost?

Pro-Stride is competitively priced compared to other regenerative therapies. The cost varies depending on the joints affected and how much Pro-Stride is used. We can determine the cost after the doctor does an examination.

What Are the Benefits of Pro-Stride?

Cost Effective

Pro-Stride is less expensive than therapies such as IRAP and PRP while providing a more concentrated, natural product.

Fewer Treatments

Pro-Stride has been proven to last up to one year. Results will vary depending on the severity of the joint disease. Steroid joint injections typically need to be repeated multiple times per year. IRAP requires 3-5 weekly treatments for one overall treatment.

Time Saving

Pro-Stride typically takes 30 minutes to process the concentrate and it happens in our facility. The horse will receive treatment the same day the blood is drawn. Other processes can take several days.

Other Advantages

Pro-Stride can be used in horses that cannot have typical steroid joint injections, such as young horses, laminitic horses, and insulin-resistant horses. It is a great next step for horses that have been unresponsive to steroid therapy.
