Sports Medicine
Joint Injections are a key component of our equine care services, offering targeted relief and treatment for joint pain and inflammation.
Utilizing ultrasound guidance, our veterinarians precisely administer anti-inflammatory and regenerative medications directly into the affected joints.
This service is essential for horses with arthritis, joint disease, or those experiencing decreased performance due to joint issues, providing significant pain relief and improved mobility.
Pro-Stride
Pro-Stride is an innovative, non-steroidal therapy designed to harness the healing powers of your horse’s own blood to treat joint inflammation and pain. This advanced treatment accelerates natural healing processes, reducing inflammation and promoting long-lasting relief without the use of traditional steroids. Ideal for athletes and aging horses alike, Pro-Stride offers a safe, effective alternative for enhancing joint health and performance.
A2M (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin)
Our A2M therapy utilizes a naturally occurring molecule in your horse’s blood to halt the progression of osteoarthritis by trapping and neutralizing the enzymes that degrade cartilage. This cutting-edge treatment offers a novel approach to managing joint pain and inflammation, providing a regenerative solution that not only alleviates symptoms but also addresses the underlying causes of joint deterioration.
Polyacrylamide Gels
Polyacrylamide Gels represent a revolutionary approach to managing joint pain and osteoarthritis in horses. Injected directly into the joint, this hydrogel provides long-lasting lubrication and cushioning, significantly reducing pain and improving joint function. Safe and minimally invasive, this treatment is particularly beneficial for horses suffering from chronic joint issues, offering sustained relief and improved quality of life.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to provide pain relief for musculoskeletal issues and nerve irritation in equine athletes. By injecting small amounts of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin), this technique targets specific areas of discomfort, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. It’s particularly effective for treating back pain and is an invaluable tool in our comprehensive pain management arsenal.
Shockwave
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissue. Effective for a wide range of conditions, including tendon injuries, ligament issues, and joint pain, this therapy enhances blood circulation and accelerates the body’s natural healing processes. Shockwave therapy is a valuable option for promoting recovery without the need for surgery, offering horses a quicker return to activity and performance.
