Introducing our latest equine offering provided by Countryside Vet, Dr. Samantha Eder: a comprehensive fusion of equine chiropractic care and advanced equine medicine, delivering unparalleled support and wellness for your horse's optimal health and performance.
An alternative therapy that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in horses. It involves the manipulation and adjustment of the horse's spine, joints, and soft tissues to restore proper alignment and function. Equine chiropractors, often called "equine chiropractors" or "equine chiropractic practitioners," use their hands or specialized tools to apply controlled force to specific areas of the horse's body.
The underlying principle of equine chiropractic is similar to human chiropractic care, which is to restore proper alignment and movement of the spine and joints, thereby enhancing overall health and performance. Equine chiropractors believe that misalignments or restrictions in the horse's musculoskeletal system can lead to pain, stiffness, decreased range of motion, and compromised performance.
Equine chiropractic treatment typically involves a thorough evaluation of the horse's posture, movement, and musculoskeletal system, followed by manual adjustments aimed at correcting any identified issues. These adjustments may include spinal manipulations, joint mobilizations, soft tissue techniques, and stretches. Equine chiropractors may also provide advice on exercise, nutrition, and management practices to support the horse's musculoskeletal health.
It's important to note that equine chiropractic should be performed by qualified professionals who have undergone specific training and certification in animal chiropractic care. Additionally, while equine chiropractic can be a valuable complementary therapy for some horses, it's not a substitute for proper veterinary care and should be used as part of a comprehensive management plan tailored to the individual horse's needs.

Additionally, equine chiropractic should be performed by qualified professionals in conjunction with regular veterinary care and tailored to the horse's individual needs and circumstances.
