What We Offer
A specialist resource for your canine orthopedic & sports medicine cases.
I come to your clinic. You keep the relationship.
Rehabilitation & integrative care referred to trusted partner practices.
-
A comprehensive orthopedic and sports medicine evaluation, including a structured lameness and gait assessment, followed by a tailored diagnostic plan and recommendations.
-
Focused diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound of soft-tissue structures - tendons, ligaments, muscles, and periarticular tissues. Commonly evaluated sites include the shoulder, stifle, elbow, iliopsoas insertion, and the common calcaneal (Achilles) tendon.
-
Ultrasound-guided therapeutic injections: intra-articular and intralesional (e.g., corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and platelet-rich plasma).
-
Osteoarthritis management across all life stages, from early secondary OA following developmental disease (hip/elbow dysplasia, OCD), joint instability (CCL disease, patellar luxation), or trauma, through established degenerative disease. Services include diagnosis and staging, image-guided intra-articular therapeutic injections, multimodal medical management, and structured longitudinal monitoring. Rehabilitation exercise programs and physical modalities (e.g., Laser, TENS) coordinated through partner practices.
-
Casting (molding) and specific anatomical measurements for a custom-fabricated orthosis (brace), with subsequent fitting of the fabricated device. Common applications include carpal and tarsal ligamental injuries, common calcaneal (Achilles) tendon pathologies (degenerative or post-surgical repair), and digital flexor tendon injuries (post-surgical reconstruction), among other orthopedic conditions where external coaptation with a custom-made device supports healing or function.
-
When a mild, subtle, or intermittent lameness requires objective characterization, or when quantifiable metrics are needed to document response to treatment, we collaborate with a Fort Collins based facility equipped with a Zebris CanidGait® - an instrumented, pressure-sensitive treadmill with synchronized video capture, to obtain objective, repeatable gait metrics (per-limb loading, symmetry, stance/swing distribution).
-
(1) pre-appointment consultation with the referring veterinarian, and (2) virtual rechecks and follow-ups for established patients.
