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.
