EQUINE CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Using a combination of chiropractic therapy, acupuncture, and herbs is a safe and effective way to keep your animals feeling and performing at their best. These therapies are great for supporting and healing lameness that involves the neck, back, and pelvis and to complement conventional therapies for lower limb lameness. Acupuncture and herbal therapies can also be used to treat a very wide scope of ailments to include inflammatory, endocrine, and respiratory diseases.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient and complex therapy that acts on many body systems at once. The overall goal of acupuncture is to restore homeostasis to the body, whether that applies to sickness, pain, or general underperformance.
We use a combination of dry needling, electro-acupucnure, and aqua-acupuncture tailored to each patient. Acupuncture needles stimulate the nervous, immune, and circulatory systems simultaneously to encourage the body to make their own healing compounds and anti-inflammatory molecules.
Acupuncture is most effective when you give multiple treatments at short intervals and then gradually space out the treatments until the problem is resolved. Some acute conditions will resolve with very few or even just one session. Other chronic conditions, such as allergies, asthma, or arthritis will most likely require regular treatments which will differ with the severity of each case.
