Available Therapies

Acupuncture

The ancient Chinese art of needling has been used for centuries to promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, stimulate neural pathways and encourage healing. Electrical stimulation can be added if indicated for your horse’s condition. Dr. Shelley will assess your horse at the initial consult to determine if your horse will benefit from acupuncture. Don’t worry, most horses enjoy the treatment. Check out the link to the acupuncture page to learn more info about acupuncture in general.

ColD laser Therapy

KVRA’s Class IV therapeutic laser provides effective treatment for a multitude of conditions ranging from superficial/deep wounds to severe degenerative joint disease/osteoarthritis. This therapy uses light to stimulate cell activity and increases bloodflow to tissues that require healing and repair. This type of therapy often feels like a soothing warm heat that feels like a massage when used directly on skin. For a more detailed description on what cold laser therapy is and how it may be beneficial, check out the link.
