AcupunctureOWEC offers acupuncture for the treatment of its equine patients. Acupuncture
is especially useful to aid in alleviating pain and inammation. It has been
used successfully to treat soundness issues, trauma, reproduction, and
endocrine problems.

painful points enables the horse to utilize feed more efciently, as well as
allows the horse to work more comfortably in the bridle. Prophylactic dentistry

Digital ultrasonography, radiography, thermography, and endoscopy are alimportant diagnostic imaging tools available to you through OWEC. These tools
can pinpoint lameness and uncover other medical problems.
Ultrasonography
OWEC offers digital ultrasonograghy for the diagnosis of tendon, ligament, and
joint lesions that result in lameness. In addition, we have the ability to perform
complete ultrasonographic examination of the mare’s and stallion’s reproductive
tracts. A 2.5 MHz probe with Doppler capability allows us to image the adul
equine abdomen and thorax and perform echocardiograms of the equine heart.
Ultrasonography has become the primary diagnostic modality in the assessment
of the ill equine neonate and is used routinely at OWEC to evaluate the foal’slungs, umbilicus, and abdomen.
Radiography
Comprehensive radiographic capabilities for the diagnosis of lameness and othe
lesions of the skeletal system are available through OWEC. With the addition o
digital radiography in 2006, we are able to offer the latest technology available
for the detection of orthopedic lesions.
Thermography
Thermography is the science of measuring the temperature on the surface of
the body to gain information about processes beneath the skin. Temperature
differences as small as 0.1 degree Fahrenheit can be detected through
the measurement of infrared radiation. Thermography is a non-invasive
method of detecting the presence of inflammation and the possible source
of the lameness.
Endoscopy
Examinations of the equine’s upper airway, lower respiratory tract, stomach, and
the mare’s uterus can be performed with an endoscopy. This imaging modality
aides in the diagnosis of gastric ulcers, roarers, inammatory airway disease
and uterine pathologies.
