Our x-ray machine, the Heska Cuatrro Slate has the added benefit of being wireless, which makes it easy to transport and use. We utilize Surefoot x-ray blocks for extra comfort and grip. This adaptation is safer for patients, and it helps reduce the need for sedation.
Our Piezo Wave Focused Beam Shockwave is Quiet! Because of the decreased sound most horses don’t need sedation. This is more beneficial for diagnostic purposes because we are able to gain more insight by their reaction. The beam is felt only in areas of tissue damage, which means the treatment is focused on the area of injury. Additionally it is less painful for the patient. We also have a smaller hand-held shockwave unit available for the neck and distal limbs.
The ultrasound holds a special place in Dr. Repking's heart because it looks at the deeper part of anatomy. With her ISELP certification, she gained a deep understanding of an advanced knowledge base broadening the scope of her diagnostic skills. This level of certification covers advanced anatomic review, diagnostics, and biomechanics. We are able to see the deeper problem areas with our many different probe types, and also utilize it for complex injection procedures.
Our Electro-Acu Stimulation machine enhances our therapeutic effects by ending a mild electrical current through the acupuncture needles. There is so many benefits to stimulation like muscle recovery, anti-inflammation, and controlling chronic pain areas. They allow the needles to penetrate deeper into the nerves and muscles.
