Services
Our practice is focused on lameness diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
We pride ourselves in keeping your horse in top condition using the latest technology available for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
A lameness examination typically begins with a thorough palpation of your horse to identify any areas of heat, swelling, and/or soreness.
The horse will next be examined in motion, both on a the longe and straight line.
Flexion tests will be performed which allow us to apply stress and pressure to specific joints while we distinguish any source of discomfort or asymmetry.

The purpose of a pre-purchase examination is to provide a prospective buyer with the best information available about the horse they intend to buy.
A pre-purchase examination involves an in-depth examination of multiple body systems of the horse, and will also often involve diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests.
Cardiovascular Fitness - detection of heart murmurs or arrhythmia's that may limit performance.
Ophthalmologic Health - evaluation of the eyes for signs of disease or visual dysfunction.

The term "regenerative therapies" refers to the use of biological agents that originate from the horse as treatment for damaged tissue.
Most commonly these agents come from the horse's blood or bone marrow, but may also come from fat cells or other tissues.
Once processed, these products can then be re-injected into the horse to promote healing at specific sites of injury.
Regenerative therapies are thought to improve the overall quality of healing by signalling the damaged tissue to repair itself at the cellular level with decreased reliance on scar tissue creating a more physiologically normal repair.

Stem cell therapy is another exciting regenerative therapy available at Atlantic Equine Services.
Research into stem cell therapy is currently on-going and will guide our application of this technology in equine sports medicine over time.
A stem cell is an early progenitor cell that retains its ability to differentiate into multiple different cell types as it replicates and divides.
Embryonic stem cells are the most primitive types of stem cells.
They can divide into any type of cell in the body as the organism grows from a single-celled zygote into a fully developed living being.

Alpha 2 Macroglobulin [A2M] is a naturally occurring enzyme in the horses blood that inhibits cartilage breakdown.
Inherently it is found in very low quantities within the joint due to its large molecular size and complex structure.
To create therapeutic levels within the joint a process starting with a simple blood draw is used to isolate and concentrate the A2M enzyme.
One blood draw produces multiple doses that are injected into compromised joints either immediately stall-side or the product can be frozen for future use.
