Please note that we recommend that for any and all treatment processes, a veterinary opinion be obtained. Correct identification of problems with complimentary scans and/or x-rays should be obtained for any serious injuries involving bone or tendons. A qualified veterinary would then advise on the correct treatment process to proceed with. We advocate that the sound shockwave treatment and acupressure be a complimentary treatment process in line with the recommended veterinary procedure.

THERMAL IMAGING
An invaluable diagnostic tool.
With Thermal Imaging, an infrared detecting camera is used to read radiant heat emitted by an object or animal and to create a graphic map of the radiant heat coming from the skin's surface. This Thermal Image gives a visual depiction of underlying circulatory levels of the body, providing an objective view of the subjective feeling of pain, giving you the ability to see what your horse feels.

In the image above, Thermal Imaging detected nerve damage in the Right Front Leg in a horse that showed no lameness or diagnositc changes in this affected leg, but which had been demonstrating compensatory lameness in the Left Front Leg.

In the image above, Thermal Imaging detected a cannon bone fracture in a young horse showing no lamenes and scheduled to race the following week. Following routine thermal imaging, the horse was x-rayed and a fracture was confirmed. The horse was layed up; she subsequently went on to win The Breeder's Cup.

In the image above, Thermal Imaging was used during a live action assessment on a horse with non-specific hind end lameness. A stifle lesion was identified while the horse was being lunged.
Used extensively in the equine world since the 1996 Olympic Games, infrared thermal imaging inspections are a safe, cost effective, quick and non-contact method of examining a horse to identify and locate the source of problems or injuries.
