Neurological Evaluations
Neurological conditions in horses can present with subtle signs—or sudden, serious changes in behavior, coordination, or performance. At Cave Creek Equine® Sports Medicine & Surgery, we offer thorough neurological evaluations to help identify and manage disorders affecting your horse’s nervous system. Our goal is to provide accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and compassionate care for horses experiencing neurologic concerns.
