Life-Enhancing Therapy For Your Pet
Acupuncture
Dr. Emery practices acupuncture on both equines and canines. With horses, he strongly believes this ancient technique aids in both the prevention and healing of lameness. The same can be said with dogs - acupuncture is increasingly used to aid in joint and muscular-skeletal problems.
Chiropractic
Dr. Emery and Dr. Dolan practice chiropractic medicine on both equines and canines. The purpose of spinal manipulation is to correct problems with movement. The spinal cord is made up of many joints. The nerves of the spinal cord that supply the entire body pass through these joints; by improving the health of the joints, the health of the structures in and around the joints can also be improved. Joints that are not performing effectively or efficiently can cause many problems, including back spasms and atrophy. Chiropractic adjustments can help your horse feel and perform better and even help heal extreme pain.
Dental
Equine dentistry essentially disappeared with the invention of the car when horses became obsolete as a mode of transportation. Recently, however, people have begun to again realize the importance of equine dentistry. Regular dental exams can help improve the health and lengthen the life of your horse. Sharp edges and concave areas can develop on a horse's teeth because of the way they grind their food. Sharp edges can cause sores in the horse's mouth and concave surfaces reduce the efficiency with which the horse is able to obtain nutrients from feed. Regular dentals prevent these problems and play a key role in maintaining the health of your horse!

Shock Wave
This new therapy has been a big hit among the racing, trotting, and pacing industries. Recovery time from minor strains and chips is greatly shortened using this method.
We have also used this procedure on canines. An increase in mobility and functionality has been seen so far in dogs with joint problems, including severe hip displaysia, that have received Shock Wave treatment.
