WHEN TO CONSIDER TREATMENT?

Horses which perform physically are likely to experience musculoskeletal problems at some point in their life. Just like human athletes, the more we ask of our horses, the more likely it is that issues will start to occur. Misalignments can be caused by acute issues such as a slip, trip, or fall, whereas more chronic long-term issues may be caused by ill-fitting saddles, hoof imbalance, conformational stresses, and rider imbalances.

 

Numerous ridden and behavioural issues can be helped by performing veterinary chiropractic treatment. However, this treatment is also a brilliant way to prevent injury, aid exercise recovery rates, and enhance your equines performance.

SYMPTOMS TO LOOK OUT FOR

  • Asymmetries, such as stiffness in one rein

  • Deterioration in usual performance for no apparent reason

  • Stiffness either in front or behind 

  • Lack of impulsion or unwilling to go forward

  • Unwillingness to extend

  • Refusing or knocking down jumps

  • Reluctant to jump combinations or spreads

  • Rushing into canter, going disunited or striking off incorrectly

  • Stumbling or tripping

  • Uneven pressure from the saddle or the saddle slipping

  • Unexplained resistance

  • Uneven wear of horseshoes or repeatedly losing the same shoe

WHEN TO CONSIDER TREATMENT?

All dogs are at risk of injury, regardless of their level of activity. However, certain breeds of dogs and those engaged in any type of regular sports activity such as flyball or agility are prone to experience issues.

 

Greyhounds can suffer injury when competing in races, agility dogs can suffer misalignment if they lose their footing when making quick turns and jumping, and breeds with long backs and those with shorter legs are also at more risk due to their conformation.

​

It is also a good idea to book your dog in for a check up if they have recently given birth to ensure there are no ongoing problems. 

SYMPTOMS TO LOOK OUT FOR

  • Limping or leg stiffness

  • Deterioration in usual performance for no apparent reason

  • Crying out or whimpering when getting up to stand

  • Difficulty when walking up stairs or getting into cars

  • Reluctant to play or participate in exercise

  • Appetite loss

  • Displaying signs of pain during or post exercise

  • Excessive grooming

  • Heavy panting

  • Showing signs of discomfort when their back is being stroked

  • Signs of aggression when petted

  • Behavioural changes; dogs can become shy or less affectionate
