IRAP – Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein therapy for the treatment of osteoarthritis in horses and cartilage damage. 

PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma is a form of regenerative medicine that delivers a high concentration of growth factors to improve the healing process. PRP is used to treat a variety of conditions such as:

  • Ligament injuries (check & collateral ligament)
  • Joint disease/Osteoarthritis
  • Suspensory desmitis

We use the Dechra Provet APC centrifugation system to get platelets, growth factors, and anti-inflammatory proteins from your own horse! Available at our hospital and at your farm/barn. 

ESWT - Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is a modern technology for treating musculoskeletal problems, soft-tissue, and bone injuries in horses.

Shock wave therapy is used for treating conditions such as:

  • Tendon and ligament injuries (Suspensory/Deep Digital Flexor Tendon)
  • Bone (splints)
  • Osteoarthritis 
  • Joint inflammation
  • Navicular disease
