Sports Medicine/ Lameness
Lameness Evaluation: We offer thorough lameness evaluation of
your equine partner on the farm or at our clinic. Lameness evaluations consist of physical
examination, evaluation of the gait (in hand, on a lunge line, and/or under
saddle), joint flexion, nerve/joint blocks, and diagnostic imaging.
Diagnostic Imaging: CEC offers computed radiography and digital ultrasonography. With our Fujifilm computerized radiography system, we are able to offer detailed digital images, available to be reviewed via email or compact disc. Our Mylab-5 ultrasound machine is one of the highest-quality portable machines available and offers superior image quality and detail. Advanced imaging, such as nuclear scintigraphy and MRI, can be arranged on an as needed basis. We also offer upper airway endoscopy with a 1 meter portable fiber optic endoscope.
Therapeutics: In order to keep your horse in top condition, we offer intrasynovial (joint) injections, platelet rich plasma, acupuncture, and systemic therapies such as Legend and Adequan.
Pre-Purchase Examinations: Our comprehensive, in-depth pre-purchase examinations are geared towards identification of any abnormalities currently present that might affect the future performance of the horse. CEC will not pass nor fail a horse, rather provide the buyer with as much information as possible to aid in making an educated decision regarding the purchase and future intended use of the horse. Pre-purchase examinations can be tailored to meet your needs; from a thorough physical to a full set of radiographs and anything in between.
