Sports Medicine Center
At The Equine Center, we are able to provide either in-hospital or on-farm evaluation of your horse’s soundness and help develop a plan to help your horse feel and perform their best.
Overview
The Equine Center has the clinical expertise and the county’s most technologically advanced diagnostic imaging equipment, physiologic and anatomic, needed to accurately assess any horse’s performance condition.
Our FEI certified treating veterinarians work closely with high level Equine competitors and trainers. Our staff veterinarians have experience in all areas of Equine competition, including the Olympic and Pan American games.
What are physiologic and anatomic imaging?
Physiologic imaging is dynamic and sensitive showing how the tissues are currently living and includes nuclear scintigraphy (bone scan) and infrared thermography. A thermographic exam might detect metabolic changes related to active inflammation, blood flow, or nerve conduction. Physiological Imaging tells you where to look with the anatomical imaging devices.
Anatomic imaging, which includes digital radiography, ultrasound, and MRI, reveals the current state of a specific affected area. These techniques show one static moment in time of a body part and are not sensitive to metabolic changes in blood flow or nerve conduction. As such, TEC’s unique combination of Physiologic and Anatomic imaging tools allows us to quickly and precisely locate all of the areas that are affecting your horse’s performance.
