HORSES |
Horses are athletes, and in order to perform at
their optimum they need adequate rest, healthy diet nutritional supplementation as appropriate and a regular regime of stretching and muscular and skeletal maintenance in order to PREVENT injury or disease |
Chiropractic Care and Laser Acupuncture techniques can help with a wide range of ailments including:
Equine athletic performance often places the whole body under stress. Ligaments and muscles are under strain and the heart and lungs have to work harder than normal. The nervous system is required to work harder than normal and cells are metabolizing at a faster rate.
When muscles are fatigued and joints are loaded, injury is more likely to occur. If you expect the best from your horse and wish it to perform at a consistently high level, regular treatment may be helpful to prevent injury and to maintain peak physical fitness.
But whether you are at the top of your equestrian discipline, striving to reach that spot, or simply enjoying the unique pleasure of owning, riding and developing a relationship with a horse, you will find that expert assessment and treatment by the CEAT team in either Laser Acupuncture or Chiropractic will have far reaching health and performance benefits, and will profoundly affect your horse’s gait, enthusiasm, stamina and paces
Saddle fitting assessments are normally done at the initial consultation as this plays a crucial part in the comfort of the horse, and therefore it's ability to do what we ask of them.
Foals, weanlings and yearlings need to be assessed for spinal and joint misalignments. During the birthing process the spine can be injured, and research has found that 2% of foals can fracture or break a rib whilst being born. Often what appears to be conformational faults can be corrected by Chiropractic and Acupuncture treatment within the initial stages of the growth period.
