Experienced horse chiropractic sessions for enhanced mobility
Equine chiropractic care involves manual manipulation to correct misalignments in a horse’s spine and joints. This therapy can alleviate discomfort, improve mobility, and enhance overall performance. At Herd Health Management, one of our equine veterinarians is trained in horse chiropractic techniques using controlled, non-painful forces to adjust a horse’s skeletal structure and provides this ambulatory service to horses in Gilbert, AZ and the surrounding areas.
How Equine
Chiropractic Care Works
Equine chiropractic adjustments focus on the horse’s spine, pelvis, and limbs. By applying precise pressure, horse chiropractors and trained veterinarians help reconfigure nerve signals and correct abnormal movement patterns. This process can reduce muscle tightness, relieve pain, and improve the horse’s range of motion. Often, tools like blocks are used to reach specific areas effectively. During a horse chiropractic session, a practitioner may use short, controlled bursts of force to realign the spine and joints, which can lead to a noticeable improvement in the horse’s comfort and movement.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment for Horses
The primary goal of equine chiropractic sessions is to restore normal joint function and alleviate discomfort. After treatments, horses often exhibit improved performance, increased comfort under the saddle, and a more relaxed demeanor. Regular chiropractic care can also prevent injuries and support long-term health. By addressing misalignments, horse chiropractic care can help maintain muscle balance, reduce pain, and enhance overall flexibility. This can be particularly beneficial for performance horses that undergo rigorous training and competition.
