Equine chiropractic care is a recognised treatment for injuries; as well as a method to maintain and improve both performance and well-being of horses. Chiropractic care can play a particularly important role in maintaining and improving performance of finely tuned competition animals who are undergoing intense training regimes. Whether it’s a Race Horse, Eventer, Show Jumper, Dressage Horse, working animal, or a family pet, they can suffer from muscle or joint discomfort as much as humans do. In addition, age related conditions can affect our pets. Where suitable, treatment and advice can be provided as a way of reducing discomfort and pain; as well as promoting the long-term comfort and performance of the animal.[sep height=”1″][/infobox]

Equine chiropractic provides an option of care that can correct, maintain, and prevent problems in horses that can cause pain, resulting in poor performance and reduced quality of life. As part of the consultation, we review the factors that may contribute to your horses posture and performance, including:
