Veterinary Chiropractic
At Shanaghan Veterinary Services your horse will be examined by an Equine Veterinary Surgeon who is Internationally Approved in Veterinary Chiropractic. Chiropractic care can be beneficial in treating many health and performance issues.
Veterinary Chiropractic can often help eliminate the source of acute or chronic pain. This specialised practice can provide an additional means of diagnosis and treatment options for spinal problems as well as biomechanical related musculoskeletal disorders.
Innovative chiropractic techniques take focus on the biomechanical disfunction of the spine and its effect on the entire nervous system throughout the body. These disfunctions are restrictive affecting motion of the joints, muscles, nerves and surrounding tissues resulting in pain, muscle spasms and stiffness.

Veterinary Chiropractic treatment does not replace traditional veterinary medicine, however it is best used for helping to treat these issues;
Chronic musculoskeletal problems
Acute problems such as tension or stiffness
Prophylactic treatment to maintain fitness
Maintaining soundness in older animals
As a complementary treatment for chronic lameness issues
These biomechanical issues left untreated can lead to more serious and permanent problems. Chronic muscular health problems can result in overloading and compensation to other areas of the body such as the spine, tendons and ligaments, resulting in abnormalities in performance and stamina.
