Chiropractic care is a holistic drug free approach to the health
and performance problems found in both horses and dogs. It is
also a great way of preventing future problems by correcting
minor, sub-clinical issues before they develop further.
Chiropractic focuses on the proper function and alignment of all
the joints in the body. If a joint is out of alignment or not moving
freely it changes the biomechanics of the joint, which can affect
the nerve function. This is called a subluxation. Altered
biomechanics in one joint can also cause problems in other
joints through compensation.

Equine and canine chiropractic does not replace traditional veterinary
medicine but provides a complimentary system of care. Before the

Equine Sports Massage works very well with Chiropractic as it
addresses the soft tissue component of musculoskeletal problems.
This helps the adjustments hold better and it can reduce the horse's
reluctance to be touched in very sensitive or sore areas.
Regular massage sessions are great for horses in work to prevent
minor problems building up and causing injuries.
