Lameness

Our Doctors have a keen interest in soundness of the performance horse. Our goal is to partner with owners and trainers to maximize the performance of their equine athletes. We do this by accurately identifying both clinical lameness and subtle issues that may not be readily apparent yet still have an effect on the horse's performance

Eklin Digital Radiography, BioSound Digital Ultrasound and eFilm Digital Enhancement Software are advanced imaging systems that provide more accurate diagnostic information than ever before. New lameness treatment options include stem cell therapy, interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IRAP) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). Digitally guided delivery techniques have improved our ability to administer these treatments directly into injured tissues to get horses back to work quicker and reduce the number of repeat injuries. Navicular disease continues to be a leading cause of lameness in the western performance horse. New treatment modalities like Tildren and digitally guided navicular bursa injections have improved treatment response in this most challenging condition.
