Equine lameness shows up as an abnormal gait, walk, or stance. There are many reasons that can cause this horse lameness, including mechanical or neurological issues. But the most common reason is musculoskeletal pain, eventually affecting the movement of the horse.
EqueVets offers equestrian veterinary service, including lameness diagnosis and treatments. Normally, we suggest a physical exam at least once a year, preferably before the show season. It is to make sure there is no risk of horse lameness. And if it is there, the veterinary service provides the essential sports medicine and care that the horse needs.
It should be the responsibility of trainers, horse owners, and riders to pay attention to the horse’s gait. If there is any irregularity, it is better to find an equine veterinarian to diagnose the problem. The chances of recovery increase with early treatment.
Equine Lameness Treatments
The veterinary service by EqueVets provides an early lameness diagnosis and suggests medicines or treatment accordingly. If equine lameness is already worse, medicine is not enough, and the animal needs a regenerative care plan.
The equestrian veterinary services include both medicines and treatments based on the severity of horse lameness. Also, if the lameness diagnosis shows an initial stage of damage, the recovery takes only a few weeks.
The advanced regenerative technologies, new sports medicine, and therapies offer better care plans for horse lameness. The results are close to natural and stay for a very long time, without undesirable effects.
Sports Medicine For Horse Lameness
Sports medicine is generally the first line of treatment for a lameness diagnosis. It repairs and prevents the injuries that show up with sports or exercise.

Others include medicines with a special focus on the efficacy or performance of the animal.
