Equine
Specialty Services may perform an Evaluation
on horses that have not yet been diagnosed
to compile information to report to the
attending veterinarian. This evaluation
consists of visual observations, manual
palpation, and using the Electro-Acuscopes' biofeedback
capabilities to determine readouts of specific
tissue. The "diagnostic capabilities" of
the Electro-Acuscope are only used as a
tool to help pinpoint the locations of
low or high conductivity in the tissue
(i.e. a possible pathological area) so
that the proper care can then be administered
to the animal.
Equine
Specialty Services does not diagnose specific
conditions, prescribe medications, nor
does it practice any type of veterinary
medicine.
Once
the Evaluation is performed, that information
is then compiled and accompanies the recommendations
from your veterinarian, chiropractor, farrier
or other professional equine health care
provider. Upon the clients' approval, Equine
Specialty Services will design a rehabilitation
program to suit the individual horses' needs.
It is recommended that the initial series
of rehabilitation sessions is completed
in three or four consecutive daily applications.
Treatment protocols, including which modality
is applied (or group of modalities as the
situation warrants) are customized for
each horse. Often we will start with more
generalized applications, and then progress
to more specific applications directed
at your horses' condition.

Specialty Services.
