Lameness

Lameness can effect horses and impact their gait and performance if not treated can restrict a horse's movement. A horse can become lame due to several different factors, which can be evaluated and treated by our veterinarians.

The veterinarians at Clover Valley Veterinary Services perform comprehensive lameness exams both on-farm and at our facility. Before making a diagnosis, we make a complete assessment of the entire horse including a visual analysis of the horse’s gait and athletic ability. During the exam, we may also utilize diagnostic tools such as digital X-ray or ultrasound to analyze the bones, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue.

After the lameness exam, we will make a diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan. The treatment plan may include K-laser, chiropractic, or acupuncture therapies. Regular check-ups are performed throughout the process of rehabilitation. Call us at (360) 917-5887 today to learn more about our equine lameness exams and treatment planning.
