Chiropractic.
Restoring Balance & Alignment.
Steele Equine provides individualized equine chiropractic care to increase your horse’s comfort and optimize movement. Everyday wear and tear, changes in workload or training regimens, or acute or chronic injuries may cause a horse to move differently. When a horse moves differently, it changes the biomechanics of how the horse carries itself and places stress on joints and on the muscles that control those joints.
When joints get stressed, they can become “stuck” or have less than normal range of motion. This is called a Vertebral Subluxation Complex, or a VSC. It also means that muscles get tight, which changes blood flow patterns and most importantly, changes the way the peripheral nerves that come off the spinal cord at the level of that vertebrae communicate to the rest of the body. A chiropractic adjustment corrects the VSC by returning the joint to its normal range of motion and allow the nerves to fire smoothly to the rest of the body.
