Sports Horse Medicine
From veterinary practice as well as personal riding experience, our veterinarians have a wide body of knowledge with regards to performance horses in a variety of disciplines. Whether your complaint is poor performance or that your horse is not moving well, we will perform a full evaluation to identify the source of your horse’s problem and work with you to determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
A typical lameness evaluation includes a thorough history, a physical evaluation, a gait evaluation, and often more specific diagnostics including nerve and/or joint anesthesia as well as digital radiology (x-ray) and ultrasound.
Potential treatment options may include specific rehabilitation programs, therapeutic ultrasound, shockwave therapy, joint treatment, platelet rich plasma (PRP), as well as acupuncture and chiropractic.
Additionally, we work closely with several surrounding referral hospitals. If your horse needs a diagnostic or treatment option that we cannot offer in a field setting, we will be happy to refer you to get the care required.
