The Medical Center has state of the art capabilities to diagnose even the trickiest of performance issues. (link \u201ccapabilities\u201d to \u201cdiagnostic imaging\u201d) Lameness evaluations are conducted on a case-by-case basis and can include regional nerve blocks and\/or joint blocks to help localize the region causing lameness. More extensive lameness cases may require the aid of diagnostic imaging to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. You should expect your horse to spend half a day with us and it is advisable to bring the horse\u2019s full tack to the appointment. If necessary, you should be prepared to ride to allow lameness assessment under saddle. Your clinician will communicate with you throughout the lameness examination to keep you informed of diagnostic plans and treatment options.<\/p>\n<p>The clinicians at the Medical Center are knowledgeable in state-of-the-art therapies and are happy to offer such treatments as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Stem Cell therapy, IRAP, and Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Ground breaking on an indoor performance evaluation center will take place this spring to allow a year-round, climate-controlled environment in which to conduct lameness evaluations. It will be equipped with modern diagnostic, research, and rehabilitation equipment.
