And people wonder why I am dead-set against Chiropractic?

59. There are sport horses in my barn who get definitive relief from the veterinary chiropractic work.

They can't manufacture a placebo effect.

They're obviously distressed at the saddle being placed on their back pre-appointment. The vet works on the horse with chiro adjustments and then you can put the saddle on without any fuss.

Chronically crooked into fences?

Chiropractic and they can jump more freely and straight.

Trouble picking up the right lead canter?

Chiropractic.



My husband is a pro athlete/rider - very attuned to his body and knows exactly when he's become "unbalanced". His hips have a chronic tendency to get "locked" with a twist to the left which manifests itself with chronic soreness in L2, L3 in every horse he rides. His chiropractor always gives him relief and straightens his body out.

In fact, I don't know a single pro rider who doesn't use chiro regularly.

That said, babies and children should never be adjusted imo. They can't properly articulate their symptoms.
