Just like humans, horses can experience discomfort and reduced mobility due to misalignments in their spine and joints.

A skilled veterinarian certified in veterinary chiropractic uses gentle techniques to assess and adjust these areas, enhancing flexibility, performance, and overall well-being.

This holistic approach can help alleviate pain, improve posture, and support recovery from injuries, allowing your horse to move freely and feel their best.

Chiropractic care works by helping the body heal itself. It is an integrative component of health care that focuses on the relationship between the vertebral column and the nervous system, and how that relationship affects the body’s ability to maintain a state of health and well-being. Reduced mobility between two vertebral segments can cause altered nerve function, leading to pain, abnormal posture and/or abnormal movement.

Chiropractic is a manual therapy that uses very specific high velocity, low amplitude thrusts at specific anatomic locations to restore and maintain a properly functioning musculoskeletal system. When the body is biomechanically sound the nervous system can function and communicate more effectively.

Chiropractic treatment can be used in conjunction with traditional veterinary medicine for diagnosis and management of elusive musculoskeletal problems, performance issues and even some internal medicine disorders.

Equine veterinary chiropractic improves alignment, mobility, pain relief, and overall musculoskeletal health. It’s commonly used for:

Pain Relief: Addressing back, neck, and joint pain.

Improved Performance: Enhancing flexibility, balance, and range of motion.

Injury Recovery: Supporting healing of musculoskeletal injuries.

Neurological Issues: Assisting with coordination and nerve-related problems.

Gait Abnormalities: Correcting uneven stride or stiffness.

Posture Improvement: Realigning the spine for better posture and comfort.

Overall Wellness: Supporting general health and mobility, especially for hard-working athletes!
