Less noise. More comfort!

Shockwave therapy is a valuable tool in equine sports medicine, helping support the management of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.

Our shockwave unit is significantly quieter than older-generation machines, making treatments a more comfortable experience for horses who may be sensitive to unfamiliar sounds.

Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or working toward peak performance, our veterinary team can determine whether shockwave therapy may be an appropriate part of their treatment plan.

Equine gastric ulcers can affect horses of all breeds, disciplines, and lifestyles—and they often present with vague or easily missed symptoms, such as:

🔹 Changes in attitude under saddle or girthiness
🔹 Unexplained weight loss or poor coat quality
🔹 Recurrent mild colic or changes in appetite
🔹 Resistance or lack of performance

The only definitive way to diagnose gastric ulcers is through direct visualization.

With our new gastric scope, we can look directly inside your horse's stomach in real time and tailor a targeted, effective treatment plan.

Interested in scheduling a gastroscopy evaluation or learning if your horse is a candidate? Give us a call: 813-489-9368.
