Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a treatment that stimulates the mesoderm, the middle layer of skin. Shallow needles are used to inject medications into your horses’ back or neck. By treating these areas, the aim is to relieve several symptoms that your horse may have due to back/neck pain, injury, muscle tension, etc. Our goal in using Mesotherapy is to ‘break the pain cycle’ and provide relief while working to rehabilitate your horse. In addition to mesotherapy, we often use chiropractic adjustments, ESWT (shockwave therapy) and more invasive therapies such as direct joint injections.
This treatment can be used once, or if positive results are seen, can be used several times per year to keep your equine feeling comfortable. It is entirely dependent on the chronicity and causes of the condition
