Over millenia of evolutionary time, horses have evolved with an ingrained tendency to mask pain and lameness to protect themselves in the wild. This makes the veterinarian's task of detecting, diagnosing, and treating a problem with a horse, whether recreational, racing, or show, extremely challenging.

Researched and perfected over years of study and practice, today's infrared cameras are extremely effective non-invasive diagnostic tools. Subtle thermal anomalies detected by a Trained Certified Professional Thermographer can detect indicators of early inflammatory change in soft tissues. Thermographs can detect the onset of inflammatory reaction in joints and tendons up to two weeks prior to clinical appearance of lameness, and enable the practitioner to instantly visualize neurovascular changes and demonstrate the efficacy of vaso-active substances.

Equine thermography is a well-documented, powerful, non-invasive diagnostic modality that can help the veterinarian detect, confirm, and document a problem BEFORE the onset of complications and a more serous injury. Before thermography, veterinarians could rely only on observation or palpation to locate a problem, but with equine thermography, an abnormality can be defined as a thermographic or infrared anomaly that identifies stress before the onset of damage. Practitioners who have seen infrared thermography in use, say that every equine practitioner should use a Trained Certified Infrared Thermographer as a part of their diagnosis team.
