Horses

The principles of equine chiropractic are the same as they are for
humans. “Chiropractic is concerned with, and especially capable of,
solving neuromuscular biomechanical injuries – places where the joints of
the spine are abnormally restricted, not moving through their normal
range of motion. It looks normal and, to some extent, may feel normal,
but it’s not aligned and not moving as it should,” said Dr. Art Ortenburger, associate
professor of Large Animal Surgery & Integrative Medicine at the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown, P.E.I.

Equine chiropractic does not replace normal veterinary treatment; it
provides an additional, holistic therapy for horses with spinal and
joint problems related to biomechanical issues and musculoskeletal
disorders.
