CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF HORSES
A "Hunter's Bump"
How do yo know if your horse is subluxated?
Much the same as with dogs, the most common horse symptoms
of subluxation are:
- Uneven pelvic conformation
- Lameness
- Refusal to jump
- Bucking riders
- Tenderness under the saddle
- The pelvis appears unbalanced, higher on one side
- Roaching of the lower back
- Resistance to turn to one side
- Resistance to get too close to a fence
- Resistance to jumping
- Shortened stride
- Hunters bump
Adjusting to reduce a "Hunter's Bump"
If found, how are they corrected?
Adjustments of the spine and/or limb joints, changes in activities
and other wholistic methods may be administered or recommended
How many adjustments are needed?
In general, animals respond more quickly than humans, but
each case must be assessed individually with regard to chronicity,
age and activities.
Adjusting neck to overcome resistance to turn to one side
(refusing to take the rein)
Adjusting for tenderness at withers - will correct horse from
bucking the rider
Lindsay - Adjusting the shoulder to reduce "Tying up"
Ashton - A one year old with genetic neck malfunction
resulting in "Wobblers"
