Equine chiropractic typically involves a comprehensive assessment of the horse’s musculoskeletal system, focusing on the spine, joints, and muscles. A typical session may include:

• Evaluation:
  The equine chiropractor assesses the horse’s posture, gait, and range of motion to identify areas of tension, stiffness, or misalignment.
• Motion Palpation
  By gently palpating along the spine and joints, the chiropractor can identify areas of subluxation or restricted movement.
• Adjustments
  Using hands-on techniques, the chiropractor performs precise adjustments to realign the spine and joints, relieving pressure on nerves and restoring proper function.
• Soft tissue work
  In addition to spinal adjustments, equine chiropractors may incorporate soft tissue techniques such as massage or stretching to release tension in muscles and improve flexibility.
• Education and recommendations
  Equine chiropractors often provide guidance on exercises, stretches, and lifestyle modifications to support the horse’s ongoing well-being and prevent future issues.

Overall, equine chiropractic aims to promote optimal musculoskeletal health, enhance performance, and prevent injuries by restoring balance and mobility to the horse’s body. It’s a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of the body and strives to address underlying imbalances for long-term wellness, performance & preventive care.

Each chiropractic session will be tailored to meet the unique needs of each horse. Equine chiropractic care is not just reserved for elite athletes; it benefits horses of all ages, disciplines, and activity levels. Whether your equine companion is a competitive jumper, a beloved trail horse, or a cherished companion, regular chiropractic maintenance can help ensure their continued health, happiness, and performance.
