Equine Tendon & Ligament Diseases

Tendon and ligament diseases in horses, such as tendonitis and desmitis, involve inflammation, tears, or degeneration of these structures, resulting in lameness, swelling, and reduced performance.

Treatment typically includes rest, controlled exercise, and sometimes regenerative therapies like stem cell therapy or platelet-rich plasma injections to promote healing and prevent further injury.
