The primary purpose of chiropractic is to locate and correct subluxations of the spine, thus restoring your body to its sense of ease. Detecting subluxations can be a complicated process.

The chiropractor's job is to pinpoint the exact location of a spinal subluxation and correct it through a series of treatments that may include electrical stimulation, compression, decompression, thermal heat application, and/or spinal manipulation that realigns the vertebrae.This realignment is accomplished through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine.

Spinal subluxation interferes with the normal flow of electrical impulses along the nerve fibers, distorting the message the nerve is trying to send or receive. If the complete, undistorted impulse cannot pass to and from the brain effectively and efficiently, some part of the body will be adversely affected.

A subluxation is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) shift out of position and inhibit the function of the spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the pathways that send and receive messages to and from the brain via electrical impulses. The spaces between the spinal vertebrae allow nerves to branch off and send messages to various parts of the body.

Equine Chiropractic Care in general can be used to accurately detect, predict, treat and prevent disease in horses. The real benefit of equine chiropractic applications are only just now beginning to be recognized. Chiropractic care offers great potential in equine health care. The purpose of equine chiropractic is to optimize health.

An electrical therapy that works to fatigue (tire) the muscles, which helps to hold realignment of the vertebrae in place. It also stimulates nerves and increases nutrients to the soft tissue areas to promote healing. The deepest form of heat available in physical therapy. Unlike surface heat (such as a heating pad), it heats from the inside out.
