New Equine Initial Exams require assessment of the complaint &/or justification by a veterinarian prior to assessment and treatment by Beastly Body Alignment. The owner/caretaker and veterinarian must complete the veterinary approval form prior to appointment. Initial Exams include a review of health records from veterinarian, detailed history, examination, biomechanical analysis, and adjustment.

Established Patient Exams are for established patients with a new complaint or patients who have not been treated by Beastly Body Alignment in 6 months. This requires assessment of assessment of the complaint &/or justification by a veterinarian prior to assessment and treatment by Beastly Body Alignment. Established Patient Exams include updates to health records and history, re-examination, re-assessment of biomechanics, and adjustment.

After assessing for abnormal or decreased motion in the animal’s joints, a quick, specific, and gentle force (either manually or via an adjusting instrument) is applied to encourage normal biomechanics previously guarded by swelling, pain, or muscle spasm. Normal biomechanics decrease overall inflammation and pain with a reduction in potential injury or encouragement of healing the current injury. If the animal has a chronic musculoskeletal condition, is a working animal, or regularly competes in sporting activities, adjustments may be part of the animal’s long term maintenance care. Manual therapy services are included in the price of manipulation, as is the standard with human patients throughout the chiropractic field.

Manual therapy and rehabilitation techniques may include a variety of soft tissue or muscle release work, targeted stretching, proprioceptive rehabilitation, and owner/caretaker education on continuation of exercises.

One session of 808nm/300mW--Class 3B “cold” laser application to promote healing and reduce inflammation.

Your horse's comfort and well-being should be a top priority, and a poorly fitting saddle can negatively impact both. The right saddle fit is crucial because it distributes the rider's weight evenly across the horse's back. This helps to prevent pressure points, chafing, and other types of discomfort for the horse. A saddle that's too tight can put pressure on the horse's spine, leading to pain and discomfort. A saddle that's too loose can move around too much, causing the horse to be unbalanced and putting additional strain on the horse's muscles. In extreme cases, a poorly fitting saddle can even cause permanent damage to the horse's spine. If the fit is not proper for the rider, then improper balance can result. Additionally, the rider may experience pain from trying to compensate for poor balance or being in an unnatural position.
