Chiropractic

This is the treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and it always goes along side a traditional veterinary consultation and treatment program.

Who can perform Chiropractic treatment on an equine?

Only after a veterinary consultation has taken place can a qualified Equine Chiropractic treat a horse.

How It Works

Manual force is used to manipulate joints, skeletal muscles, connective tissues and the spinal vertebrae to help to restore the horses mobility in the restricted area.

Contacting your veterinarian

As always any injuries or equine related health problems should go immediately to your veterinarian for consultation to help to rule out any serious underlying medical problems, once a traditional diagnosis has taken place by your vet, if they deem it necessary, they will then put you in touch with a qualified Equine Chiropractic for further treatment.
