Understanding how to diagnose, interpret and manage numerous fetlock joint and soft tissue pathologies has evolved due to the increased use of Ultrasound, MRI and CT imaging. This course is designed to take you through the latest in blocking techniques, imaging, therapeutic strategies and rehabilitation protocols that have been redefined due to new understandings from advanced imaging.
Every practitioner can take home useful insights, information and techniques regardless of your access to advanced imaging in your own caseload. This includes a comprehensive ultrasound technique overview that you can immediately put into use in practice.
Program Outline
“Great panel and very well presented material! I am so glad I signed up!”
“The case based review was wonderful! And the rehab incorporation into the treatment plan was so helpful.”
“Absolutely outstanding- thank you so much!!”
“Outstanding presentation – above and beyond my expectations!”
“It was super! Very helpful and educational. Thank you! And great that it was “real world” information too, not just ivory tower stuff.”
“This was a wonderful presentation. The clinical videos with the subtle lesions are very applicable to “real world” so I appreciate having that perspective given, in addition to the university data/ aspect. The US videos were a great refresher and much better presented than in some other lectures.”
“Very impressed! I learned a lot. I appreciated that, despite the webinar being sponsored by NoltrexVet, it was not an infomercial. Excellent panelists – information was very accessible and practitioners at many stages of expertise could take away something.”
