Can you help horses with a tendon or ligament injury

👉🏻 Similar to people, repeat use and abuse can take a toll on the ligaments and tendons.

Signs of a tendon or ligament injury are usually lameness, heat/swelling/thickening, pain on palpation, or dropping through the fetlocks

In horses with tendon or ligament injuries, we will assess your horse's joints with the goal to locate problems areas + improve motion as to reduce affected areas of improper stress and strain. This can mitigate symptoms and help to improve overall mobility and comfort.

*It is important for us to work together with your vet team should your horse be dealing with this condition. Recovery could take awhile and rehabilitation of the injury may be multi-faceted.

Can you help horses with kissing spine

👉🏻 Kissing spine occurs due to the dorsal spinal processes of the spine ‘kissing” and overriding each other. When these areas pinch together, it can cause pain and sensitivity. This condition most often occurs to horses in the withers area but can also manifest in the mid-low back.

In horses with kissing spine, we will work around compromised segments with the goal of improving motion and reducing adjacent areas of improper stress and strain. This can mitigate symptoms and help to improve recovery.

👉🏻 The "success" of our services can vary depending on the severity of the problem, the length of time your horse has been struggling, and more. Collaborative care with your animal care team will be important!

*Should your horse be rapidly worsening, it's important to pursue further management. Our services are not a replacement for further medical intervention.

Can you help horses with arthritis

👉🏻 Similar to people, joint inflammation and stiffness is a key factor to this condition.

Change in behavior or avoidance/reluctance to perform certain tasks are among one of the first signs. Particularly, difficulty changing position is pretty characteristic. Horses with arthritis may also be sensitive to weather changes (particularly, wet, damp, or colder weather) as the barometric changes will change the pressure within the joints

In horses with arthritis, we will assess your horse's joints with the goal to locate problems areas + improve motion as to reduce affected areas of improper stress and strain. This can mitigate symptoms and help to improve overall mobility and comfort.

*It is important for us to work together with your vet team should your animal be dealing with this condition. Our services are not a replacement for pain management and/or routine vet care.

Can you help horses with hunter's bump

👉🏻 Sacroiliac problems most often occur in jumping horses. The repeat stress and strain to the low back can cause a “hunter’s bump” appearance at the loin or croup area due to damage to the pelvic ligaments.

With this condition, you may notice difficulty jumping, gait changes particularly through the hind end, and protruding pelvic structures.

In horses with hunter's bump, we will assess your horse's joints with the goal to locate problems areas + improve motion as to reduce affected areas of improper stress and strain. This can mitigate symptoms and help to improve overall mobility and comfort.

*It is important for us to work together with your vet team should your horse be dealing with this condition. Recovery could take awhile and rehabilitation of the problem may be multi-faceted.
