Therapeutic Podiatry

  ==

 

  • A large percentage of our equine practice is spent diagnosing and treating lame horses. Proper hoof care and farriery is a vital part of the treatment plan and future performance of your horse. If the horse’s feet are not balanced, trimmed and shod properly, any other medical, surgical, non-invasive, re-generative or alternative therapy will not be effective.
  • Most of our Lameness cases are worked up with the diagnostic aid of Digital Radiography. We can take very accurate, computer-generated measurements from these radiographs, and use them to formulate a specific prescription to trim and shoe the horse’s foot. This is essential to recovery from lameness and return to performance.
