Lameness Investigation

Is your horse showing signs of lameness? Our experienced veterinarians specialize in diagnosing and treating equine lameness, helping your horse get back to peak performance.

Lameness exams can be conducted either at our clinic or on your farm for convenience.

 

Our comprehensive evaluation includes:
✅ Assessing your horse at rest
✅ Checking conformation and limb structure
✅ Palpating for pain, swelling, or abnormalities
✅ Observing movement in hand and under saddle
✅ Performing flexion tests and lunging on different surfaces
✅ Using nerve blocks to pinpoint the source of pain

Once we identify the affected limb and possible cause, we may use advanced imaging techniques such as radiographs (X-rays) or ultrasounds to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment options vary depending on the condition and may include:
🔹 Rest and rehabilitation plans
🔹 Anti-inflammatory medications
🔹 Joint injections for pain relief
🔹 Specialized therapies tailored to your horse's needs
