Equine patients can receive aquatic therapy in the ORC's on-site underwater treadmill. ESM travels throughout Colorado with the latest equipment and technology for comprehensive care of your equine partner. Services offered include state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment for musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, and medical issues for the equine athlete.

 

All surgical cases are referred to the Equine Surgery Service at the VTH to provide consistent, thorough follow-ups of postsurgical cases. The ESM service also can work with your local veterinarian, as well as refer additional treatments for acupuncture, chiropractic, nuclear scintigraphy (bone scan), or MRI to local practitioners.
