Just as in people, this growing field of animal health care focuses on the restoration and preservation of the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic therapy is a non-surgical, drug-free option for correcting bone, disc, and soft-tissue disorders as they relate to spinal configuration and movement.
Chiropractic care can help manage the muscular, joint, and neurologic portions of certain muscle or skeletal injuries in pet and performance horses. It can also treat muscle or skeletal conditions that are chronic or recurring, not easily diagnosed or not responding to traditional veterinary care.
Chiropractic care has helped certain chronic conditions when other types of conventional treatment have failed. However, it is usually much more effective in the early clinical stages of disease.
Chiropractic is not limited to an injured or sick animal—this therapy can assist healthy and athletic animals as well. Maintenance chiropractic care helps equines maintain proper structural alignment so they can achieve optimal performance. There is no need to haul your horse in, equine chiropractic care is offered on a farm call service.
