Maintenance in equine athletes is an important preventative measure to preserve a horses' performance career. The goal of preventative care is to stay ahead of soreness before it becomes a more major and noticeable difference in their performance and output.
Active horses are susceptible to low grade inflammation, compensation and overuse that is not always noticeable as lameness but seen as a change in comfortability and ex*****on. A sports medicine focused gait exam can diagnose subtle soreness and changes in horses. From there, we can come up with the best plan to treat your horse to preserve their performance.
It is inevitable that athletes will encounter soreness and pain. This is not always indicative of injury, but simply a result of use. Maintenance can look different in every horse depending on their individual needs. From injections, chiropractic work, farrier maintenance, medications, rehab, exercise changes and more, the goal is to assist with performance output, longevity, comfort and prevent compensation.
Our goal at Elite Performance Equine Clinic is to help your horses feel and perform their best. Contact us today to book an appointment!
