- Alleviates pain without medication
- Improves circulation and flexibility

✨Common conditions we treat with shockwave therapy:

- Tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries
- Osteoarthritis
- Navicular/heel pain

- Chronic back, neck, or SI pain
- Kissing spines
- Wound healing

Here are some awesome tips from the AAEP to keep your horses safe this holiday. Our office will be closed tomorrow. Please call 913-681-3636 if you have an emergency. Press 1 and leave a voicemail. Sending you warm wishes for a joyous 4th of July!

The Fourth of July is almost here, and many horse owners are concerned about how their horses might react to loud fireworks. 🎆

In the graphic below are some tips to keep your pets and equine companions safe during the festivities.

If your horses are staying out overnight, now is a good time to check fencing and look for any hazards like rocks, branches, or holes that could lead to injury if an animal starts running. If you have a high level of concern about your horse's response, consult your veterinarian about the appropriateness of calming agents and sedatives in advance.

No matter what your plans are, please remember to practice safety and be considerate of the people and the animals living around you so everyone may enjoy the celebration.

Thank you to our Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.
