Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a manual therapy used for the prevention and treatment of the entire musculoskeletal system – that is, both the spine and the limbs. The spine is the basic framework of the body and serves not only to stabilize it but also to protect the nervous system.
As a certified chiropractor according to IAVC (www.i-a-v-c.com), Mag. Sophie Salomon is our contact person for chiropractic care.
Horses with primary back problems as well as horses with acute and chronic limb conditions benefit from chiropractic treatment, as it can support healing and often prevent secondary back problems.
In older horses, chiropractic care contributes to a significant increase in quality of life by improving mobility and range of motion.
Competition, race, work, or leisure horses can achieve significantly improved performance through chiropractic care, as regular treatment optimizes and maintains the body's functionality. Procedure, Services Medical History, Gait Analysis, Saddle Check, Manual Adjustment, Treatment Plan First, as with any veterinary treatment, a medical history is taken to understand previous illnesses and veterinary treatments. Musculature and overall mobility are examined at rest and in motion during a gait analysis. The saddle is always checked during the initial examination to ensure a proper fit for both horse and rider. Following the chiropractic examination and assessment, the manual adjustments described above are performed, focusing on the diagnosed problem areas. Depending on the findings and their severity for the individual horse, a treatment plan is then developed. Horses react differently to treatment, and depending on the horse, a different number of chiropractic treatments are needed.
