What is Equine Chiropractic

What happens on a visit?

  • Prior to an initial assessment, permission to treat your horse must be requested from the registered Veterinarian.

  • Once we have obtained this permission, a history of your horse’s medical and behavioural history will be taken, followed by a comprehensive examination assessing your horse’s gait, posture, mobility of joints and soft tissue tension.  

  • A full report of findings will be disclosed, and we will discuss treatment options prior to proceeding with treatment if appropriate.

  • We believe in working together as a team alongside your veterinarian, farrier, dentist, saddle fitter, trainer and anyone significant to your team to provide the most successful results possible.

Treatment may include:

  • Spinal manipulation

  • Spinal mobilisation

  • Soft tissue work

  •  Stretching techniques

  • Rehabilitative exercises 

  • Onward recommendations
