The main reason for getting your horse adjusted is that when you’re riding your horse, you know that you’re getting the best performance out of the horse that you possibly can. The main way that we like to distinguish ourselves between other chiropractors and veterinarians is that we’re not coming out to help fix your horses problems, but rather, are there to help you get the highest performance and the most function you can get out of your horse. So we recommend having us out on a maintenance basis before you see any problems come up, so that we’re not only helping your horse love better, but we’re not waiting for problems to arise to where we’re spending more time trying to fix problems than we are helping you get the most out of your horse.

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. That’s the same when you are riding your horse and you’re feeling that your horse isn’t moving or performing like it normally does, you have us come out and check your horse. 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. So the thing we recommend to do the most, is to just get your horse checked out, and then get your horse on a maintenance schedule, so we can keep your horse performing at its best, and optimize that performance.

So Dr. Alex and I are not veterinarians and legally only veterinarians can sedate your animals. So if we feel that it’s necessary, we will have you contact your veterinarian and have them meet us out at your place for the appointment. Then they can perform the sedation for you.

What sets myself and Dr. Alex apart from other chiropractors in the state of Arizona is that we are both licensed and certified animal chiropractors. What you run into, not only in Arizona but a lot of other places too, is that you have a lot of people that are out there performing chiropractic, but they’re not licensed and certified, so you’re not getting the best care for your animals. With Dr. Alex and I, you’re ensured to get the best care because we’re licensed, certified, and insured!
