Services
Acupuncture Therapy
Our acupuncture services use traditional Chinese veterinary medicine techniques to treat equine conditions. We employ methods like electroacupuncture and moxibustion to address musculoskeletal issues, neurological disorders, and chronic conditions. Our practitioners have completed specialized training at accredited institutions to provide safe, effective pain management and wellness support.
Chiropractic Care
We offer chiropractic adjustments to improve equine mobility and nervous system function. Our certified practitioners identify and correct vertebral subluxations that affect performance and comfort. This therapy benefits horses with lameness issues, respiratory conditions, and general biomechanical imbalances through non-invasive techniques.
Emergency Services
Our emergency veterinary team responds to urgent equine medical situations 24/7. We provide on-site critical care and surgical interventions for traumatic injuries, colic episodes, and other life-threatening conditions. Clients receive immediate guidance and compassionate support during these stressful situations.
Field Surgical Services
We perform various surgical procedures at your location using portable equipment. Our team handles soft tissue surgeries and orthopedic procedures with strict sterile protocols. This service allows horses to receive necessary operations without transportation stress while maintaining high care standards.
Lameness Evaluations
Our lameness specialists conduct comprehensive gait analyses to diagnose movement abnormalities. We use diagnostic imaging and physical exams to identify pain sources affecting performance. Treatment plans combine medical interventions and rehabilitation strategies to restore normal mobility and comfort.
