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.
Treatment is directed at these dysfunctional joints to restore proper motion, nerve
function and health. This is done with a low force but very quick adjustment using the
hands.
Equine and canine chiropractic does not replace traditional veterinary medicine
but provides a complimentary system of care. Before the initial appointment
please contact your Veterinarian to ensure they are happy for your horse or dog
to receive chiropractic care.

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.
How can you tell if your horse or dog is in pain or is just
reluctant or misbehaving?
Give them a chiropractic check to be sure!
