Lameness Exam
Lameness Exam
A lameness examination involves a systematic and thorough approach to identify the cause of your
horse's discomfort. The process begins with a detail
ed medical history and physical examination,
followed by observing the horse in motion to assess gait abnormalities. Diagnostic tools such as
flexion tests,
nerve
and intra
-
articular
blocks, and
advanced imaging (like X
-
rays, ultrasound, or
CT
)
may be used
to pinpoint the source of lameness. Based on the findings, our veterinary team will
develop a customized treatment plan to address the underlying issue and help your horse return to
optimal health and performance.
