Podiatry

 

The Equine Specialty Hospital maintains a comprehensive on-site Equine Podiatry Center. The purpose of the center is to accommodate the specific therapeutic and corrective shoeing requirements of many of our equine patients. With the support of the hospitals diagnostic capabilities, including detailed lameness evaluation, CT scan, MRI, digital radiography, digital ultrasound and nuclear scintigraphy, the center prides itself on the quality and accuracy of its work. The hospital is proud to employ Mr. Edward Cigany as our hospital podiatrist. Mr. Cigany has been working closely with the specialists at the hospital since 1999 and is a valued member of the hospitals team. He brings his expertise in podiatry and ability to work with the hospitals specialists and clients to provide the patient the best in equine foot care. The veterinary specialists and Mr. Cigany work closely with your current farrier and primary care veterinarian to ensure accuracy and quality of care upon release from the hospital. The hospital sees hundreds of lameness patients annually. Many of the lamenesses are the result of problems with the feet including laminitis, navicular bone problems, coffin bone fractures, abnormal growth patterns, flexural deformities, coffin joint abnormalities, sequestrums, Canker and more. We perform detailed comprehensive examinations so as to accurately diagnosis the specific cause of the lameness and develop a therapeutic plan for the benefit of the patient.
