Chiropractic care focuses on the proper functioning and balance of the nervous system by ensuring good joint mobility in the horse.

This optimizes your horse's performance and helps ensure they can live pain-free.

​

Signs that your horse may benefit from chiropractic treatment:

• Asymmetrical muscle development

• Reluctance to jump

• Sudden training difficulties

• Tilting of the head

• Tenderness when touched

• Shorter strides

• Rider sitting off to one side

• Unbalanced canter

• Poor transitions

• Lack of forward movement

• Long warm-up needed

• Suddenly, pulling hard on the bit

• Poor bascule (jumping arc)

• Knocking down the last few poles

• Slipping saddle

• Uneven shoe wear

 

What does a treatment involve?

The chiropractor analyzes and observes the horse’s gait on different surfaces, either in a straight line or on a curve, to detect various mobility issues.

Afterward, there will be a chiropractic clinical examination to determine the precise locations of blockages in the spine.

There are many techniques to treat dysfunctions, which are tailored to the horse's condition.

A dysfunction that prevents other body parts from aligning correctly is a blockage.

The adjustment is intended to stimulate the nervous system in the specific direction needed to restore its normal functions. The chiropractor's movements consist of a controlled thrust, high speed, and a short lift.

​

Chiropractic treatment is suitable for horses of any age:

• For foals after birth, to ensure everything is in order.

• For young horses during their growth.

• For horses in active training, to improve performance and eliminate pain caused by certain physical exercises.

• For retired horses, to help them live their final years as comfortably as possible.
