The following information and testimonials has been taken from MWI Veterinary Supply's P3 brochure. Comments herein apply only to the P3 from S.B. Enterprises, LLC. The P3 is the only pulsed magnetic device thouroughly tested by veterinaians and their trainers-clients-owners, both as to safety and efficacy. The company does not make any claims regarding use of the P3.
The P3 Machine
The P3 machine is based on the concept that electric impulses are vital to life and life processes. This concept is neither new nor well defined. Research of verying types of electrical therapies has provided a host of positive, if inconsistent, results. While there is now a common belief in the benefits of electrical stimulation, the questions of "at what frequencies are there biological influences" and "is it at an intramuscular or cellular level" still stand. Nobody knows exactly how the P3 has produced the incredible results witnessed by many top equine veterinarians and trainers across the country, but we have a good working theory. With its unique capacitor, the P3 delivers a revolving spectrum of bio-frequencies with the idea that it is delivering a metabolic buffet with every pulse. With every cycle there is a frequency wave that is appropriate for each individual tissue, stimulating and heightening it's function as well as those of surrounding tissues. Healing, a multi-tissue function in any case, is accelerated because each tissue involved, and each bio-function, is stimulated as a systemic whole.

"Since I started using the P3, during the past 2 years, I have injected less than 6 horses for sacroiliac pain. Before that, I was injecting all the time. The P3 is a much more desirable alternative; the pain relief lasts 3 to 4 times as long as an injection or the shock wave, is cheaper, and non invasive." -Dr. Keith Merritt, DVM- Merritt and Associates Equine Hospital, Wauconda, Illinois

"Response to treatment has been excellent for muscle soreness and muscle-bone interface problems. There is an analgesic effect shortly after treatment that lasts for varying amount of time depending on the individual. We have seen an extremely high success rate in sore backs and gluteal muscle soreness." - Dr. R. Stuart Shoemaker DVM, ACVS- Idaho Equine Sports Medicine & Surgery, Nampa, Idaho
Dr. Alan Donnell, DVM
"The P3 unit has become one of our most popular pieces of equipment... Whether the origin is primary or secondary, we are able to reduce or eliminate the muscle soreness of the back, croup and hamstring... In some cases, it provides temporary relief and others long term benefits. Over the back, hips and hamstrings the deep muscle massage action along with electromagnetic stimulation of the large muscle groups provide relief of the muscle sorennes." - Dr. Alan Donell, DVM- Equine Sports Medicine, Pilot Point, Texas
