Therapeutics

At PHD Veterinary Services, developing the right treatment plan is just as important as diagnosing the issue. While lameness is a frequent cause of poor performance, pinpointing the source often requires detailed evaluations, including nerve blocks and thorough jogging evaluations, given the limited verbal communication with horses.

​

Common conditions like tendon and ligament inflammation or osteoarthritis may call for intra-articular therapies such as corticosteroids, ArthramidVet, Renovo, hyaluronic acid, PRP, Alpha2-Macroglobulin, IRAP, Pro-Stride APS, or stem cells. We also treat soft tissue injuries with intra-lesional injections, shockwave therapy, cold saltwater spa sessions, laser therapy, and topical anti-inflammatories. Muscle soreness is managed through shockwave, massage, and systemic medications.

​

Every therapeutic plan is supported by appropriate trimming, shoeing, and a tailored conditioning program with ongoing evaluations. Whether at your farm or at our clinic, we deliver advanced, individualized care to support your horse’s soundness and long-term health.
