Horses are athletes. No different than human athletes! All human athletes stretch before they compete, and if you want to get the most out of your horse’s performance, stretching them is essential! 

There are many different ways to accomplish these stretches. In these videos, you’ll learn different ways to do them, that are safe and effective, no matter how big or strong you are. The pressure point stretches can be done, regardless of your size, and provide an extremely effective way to stretch your horses.

Contrary to popular opinion, horses do NOT need time off after their adjustments. In fact, the last thing you want is to put your horse in a stall and let them sit afterwards. The more movement the better, after they’re worked on. The best thing for them, post-adjustment, is turnout and time in a round-pen. Movement helps to prevent tightness and soreness, and also helps to combat the ever-present muscle memory! So get’em moving! 

This is a very common question and concern in the human chiropractic world as well. There are two answers to this.

#1  You don’t HAVE to do anything… BUT when you feel how amazing your horse moves after getting adjusted, you won’t have to keep him adjusted, but you’ll WANT to!

#2  We spend a lot of money on maintaining our horses. We have their feet trimmed every 6-8 weeks, we have their teeth floated every year, we give them the best feed, the best supplements, and we do everything we can to keep them healthy and performing at their best. With all of this maintenance, it just makes sense to maintain the health of the spine and extremities! 

Yes, chiropractic care is generally safe for horses when performed by a trained and certified professional. Our practitioners use non-invasive techniques to assess and address misalignments in the spine and joints, helping to improve mobility and alleviate discomfort. Just like in human chiropractic care, it’s essential to have a thorough evaluation to ensure that the treatment is appropriate for your horse’s specific needs and condition. We prioritize your horse’s well-being and work closely with you and your veterinarian to provide safe and effective care.

During a horse chiropractic session, you can expect a thorough evaluation and gentle, hands-on treatment. Here’s a breakdown of what typically happens:

1. Initial Assessment: The session begins with a discussion about your horse’s medical history, current health status, and any specific concerns or issues you’re noticing. This helps the chiropractor understand your horse’s needs.

2. Physical Examination: The chiropractor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination, observing your horse’s posture, gait, and range of motion. They may also palpate, or feel, various parts of the body to identify areas of tension, pain, or restriction.

3. Chiropractic Adjustments: Based on the assessment, the chiropractor will perform specific adjustments to the spine, joints, and other areas as needed. These adjustments are done with controlled force and precise movements to restore alignment and improve function. The techniques are gentle and tailored to each horse’s size and condition.

4. Post-Treatment Discussion: After the adjustments, the chiropractor will discuss their findings and the treatments performed. They may provide recommendations for follow-up care, exercises, or other therapies to support your horse’s recovery and well-being.

5. Follow-Up: Depending on your horse’s condition, the chiropractor may suggest a schedule for follow-up sessions to monitor progress and maintain optimal health.

The entire process is designed to be comfortable for your horse and to promote overall health and performance. We always prioritize the safety and comfort of your horse during each session.

1. Back Pain and Discomfort: Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain and stiffness in the back, neck, and other areas by improving spinal alignment and reducing tension.
2. Lameness and Gait Abnormalities: Misalignments in the spine or joints can affect a horse’s movement. Chiropractic care can help restore proper alignment, improving gait and overall mobility.
3. Performance Issues: Horses in training or competition may experience performance-related issues due to musculoskeletal imbalances. Chiropractic care can enhance performance by optimizing the horse’s physical function and range of motion.
4. Behavioral Changes: Sometimes, discomfort from misalignments can manifest as behavioral changes, such as resistance, irritability, or difficulty performing certain tasks. Addressing these issues through chiropractic care can lead to positive changes in behavior.
5. Injuries and Recovery: Chiropractic care can support the healing process after injuries by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting natural healing mechanisms.
6. Prevention and Maintenance: Regular chiropractic care can also be used as a preventive measure to maintain optimal health and performance, helping to identify and address potential issues before they become significant problems.

It’s important to work with a qualified chiropractor who can evaluate your horse’s specific needs and conditions. They will develop a tailored treatment plan in coordination with your veterinarian to ensure comprehensive care.

I like to compare this to how when you’re driving car, you know exactly how that car is supposed to feel because you’re used to driving that particular car. So if you get in your car one day and all of a sudden you notice a vibration, or it’s pulling to the left, or you’re just not getting that performance out of your car that you normally do, that’s an indication that you need to take your car in to get checked out.

It’s the same situation when you are riding your horse and you’re feeling that your horse isn’t moving or performing like it normally does, even if you can’t put your finger on exactly why. That means it’s time to have us come check them.

But overall, chiropractic is best used as maintenance care. If you wait until a problem arises, we’re already behind the curve because now we have to fix those problems before we can get to maintenance care and optimizing that performance.

We recommend getting your horse checked out and then getting them on a maintenance schedule.  That way we can keep them performing at their best, and optimizing that performance.

If we feel that it’s necessary, we will have you contact your veterinarian and have them meet us for the appointment. Then they can perform the sedation for you.
