Chiropractic for Horses
Horse chiropractic is a manual maneuvering of the vertebrae, to maintain alignment and ensure nervous system control and muscle coordination. Physical adjustments for the pelvis, hind legs and shoulders can greatly benefit.
Chiropractic offers an entirely new therapy for horses. Gait problems and lameness that may have been previously untreatable or undiagnosed may respond to adjustments.
When movement between two vertebrae is restricted, the horse does not have total flexibility of the spine. Stiffness and resistance to movement results in lowered performance. As by shifting weight or moving a limb differently.
Misalignment can happen throughout the body and can cause many symptomatic problems within the horse.
Chiropractic care offers tremendous potential in the correction of back-related lameness. It also has potential for the prevention of lameness. Gait problems may be corrected in the early stages, before tissue damage occurs.
Traumatic and stressful situations present themselves to horses everyday, in the very nature of competitive activities, such as racing, dressage or eventing.
Chiropractic and muscle therapy helps to improve muscle tone and better performance for a more athletic horse. Furthermore equine therapy ensures your horses good health and happy relaxed attitude. Treatments done on a regular basis should be part of your horses overall maintenance.
I believe that every breed of horse and every discipline benefit from Equine Therapy.
Chiropractic goes hand in hand with massage and acupressure.
