Lameness Evaluation & Treatment
Lameness can occur at any time and may be caused by pain, a physical problem, or a neurological condition. To evaluate all types of lameness issues, we offer the latest in diagnostic imaging with MTurbo digital ultrasound and digital radiography, available at the hospital and in the field. Our veterinarians also perform physical exams with gait analysis, flexion tests, and nerve and joint blocks as needed.
The skilled equine veterinarians at Columbia Equine Hospital evaluate each horse systematically and thoroughly in order to make an accurate diagnosis of the source of the lameness and establish the most optimal treatment plan.
What is Involved in a Lameness Evaluation?
The skilled veterinarians at Columbia Equine Hospital evaluate each horse fully to determine the source of lameness and the best treatment plan. Our vets perform a physical exam with gait analysis, flexion tests, nerve and joint blocks, and advanced diagnostic imaging.
Once we have completed a lameness exam and have determined the source of your horse's lameness, we can begin treatment. Columbia Equine Hospital offers advanced treatment options. We can help your horse using regenerative treatments such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy, Pro-Stride APS, Restigen PRP, and Stem Cell Therapy.
