Chiropractic Care: A manual therapy focused on optimizing the health and function of the neuro-musculoskeletal system. It involves identifying areas of restricted movement in the spine and joints, often referred to as vertebral subluxation complexes or biomechanical restrictions. Through specific, controlled adjustments applied by hand, the goal is to restore normal joint motion, improve nerve function, alleviate pain, and enhance performance and mobility.
- Chiropractic care is often sought for horses experiencing back or neck pain, stiffness, reduced flexibility, unexplained performance issues, or as part of a proactive wellness strategy.
- As a veterinarian with specialized certification and advanced training in animal chiropractic, Dr. Blaire Albers performs our chiropractic evaluations and adjustments.

Acupuncture: A well-established therapy involving the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the horse’s body. These points often correspond to nerve bundles, muscle trigger points, or locations that can influence nerve pathways and physiological responses. The stimulation of these points aims to modulate the nervous system, reduce pain and inflammation, improve blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
- Acupuncture is commonly used to help manage chronic pain conditions like arthritis, back problems, or laminitis, as well as neurological disorders, respiratory issues, gastrointestinal discomfort, and to support overall well-being and athletic function.
- Dr. Jordan Hammer brings expertise in equine acupuncture to our practice, utilizing specialized training to administer this therapeutic modality.
