Farrier Consultation

Integrated Equine Infrared is the partnership between top integrative veterinary medicine practice Inspiritus Equine, Inc. and the renowned DeLeonardo Farrier Service. Our common professional goal of combining veterinary medicine with farrier science is the foundation of this business.

 

Our mission is to promote the research, standardization, and utilization of equine diagnostic thermal imaging for the benefit of equine health and wellness.

 

We offer state of the art thermal imaging service that provides a safe, economical, and a valuable diagnostic tool. A specialized camera converts emitted energy (infrared waves) into a picture visible by the human eye. Emitted heat may be directly correlated to circulation, which in turn indicates inflammation.  While people typically think of infrared as "the hot tool", thermal imaging is equally effective at locating "cold spots."  Decreased temperature may indicate nerve damage, circulatory disruption, muscle atrophy, off-loading, and more.

 

It is important to remember that thermal imaging is a physiologic imaging modality, meaning it detects changes in metabolic function, but cannot tell you specifically what the underlying problem is. Anatomic imaging such as radiographs or ultrasound are often needed to determine the specific lesion, while thermal imaging is an excellent locator of problems and gauge over time of healing or other processes.
