Lameness Investigation

🐎 Is Your Horse Showing Signs of Lameness?

Lameness can affect performance, comfort, and long-term soundness—but with the right care, your horse can get back to doing what they love. At PEAK VETS, our experienced veterinarians specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of equine lameness, helping your horse return to peak condition.

We offer lameness exams both at our clinic and on your farm for your convenience.

 

🩺 What’s Included in a Lameness Evaluation?

Our thorough, step-by-step approach ensures nothing is overlooked:

✅ Evaluation of your horse at rest
✅ Assessment of conformation and limb structure
✅ Palpation for pain, swelling, or abnormalities
✅ Observation of movement in hand and under saddle
✅ Flexion tests and lunging on a variety of surfaces
✅ Nerve blocks to pinpoint the source of pain

Once we identify the affected limb, we may recommend advanced imaging such as:
Digital radiographs (X-rays)
Ultrasound scanning

Treatment Options May Include:

🔹 Rest and rehabilitation programs tailored to your horse’s needs
🔹 Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling
🔹 Joint injections for targeted pain relief
🔹 Specialised therapies based on your horse’s unique condition

Don’t let lameness slow your horse down.
