Equine Chiropractic

Whether your horse is an upper-level eventer, a hunter-jumper on the A-circuit, a barrel-racer, or simply a pasture pony, chiropractic care can help maintain mobility, alleviate pain and improve overall quality of life for your equine partner.

Signs that your horse may benefit from chiropractic care: 
  • 'Back soreness' or sensitivity to touch while being groomed 
  • Injuries from falls or training
  • An inability or reluctance to flex at the poll
  • Difficulty engaging the hindquarters 
  • Difficulty with collection or the lateral gaits 
  • 'Girthiness' or being 'cold backed'
  • Pain and tenderness over the withers and saddle area
  • Short-striding
  • Behavioural changes such as refusing, bucking, or rearing
  • Excessive tail swishing
  • Unequal bending from side to side
  • Shifting lameness
  • "Roach back" appearance
  • Difficulty picking up a lead 
  • Constantly swapping leads
  • Being 'head shy'
  • Difficulty holding a leg for the farrier
  • Dragging the hind toes
