Thermography
Thermography is a non-invasive technique, whereby a camera with a sensor measures the infra-red emissions from a horse’s body. Once the information is recorded, it enters the camera and the temperature variations are depicted in the display with different colors corresponding to different temperatures.
Farrier Consultations
In the process of trying to diagnose and treat a lameness, a collaborative relationship with a farrier is essential. There are times when a change in shoeing will be integral to improving a horse's soundness. Fortunately we have a number of experienced farriers in our area that have been great to work with over the years.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwaves are high-pressure, low frequency sound waves, generated by a device outside the body and applied to the affected tissue in a site-specific manner. When the shockwaves meet tissue interfaces of different densities, the energy contained in the shockwaves is released and interacts with the tissue. The shockwaves appear to relieve pain and accelerate healing within the injured tissue.
