Horses, like us, have a spine and a nervous system. The brain communicates with the entire body via the spinal cord and the nerves exiting it. These nerves tell our body what to do. They tell muscles to contract, lungs to breathe, the tummy to digest food, and everything in between! When there are misalignments in the spine, called subluxation, this communication highway is compromised, disrupting the nervous systems ability to function at it's best.

​​

In horses this oftentimes shows up as:

• Difficulty with Lead Leg Changes

• Problems Turning the Neck 

• Lameness

• Weakness

• Difficulty Standing Up or Laying Down

• Trouble Engaging the Hind Quarters

• Difficulty Flexing at the Poll

• Pain

• Refusal or Reluctance to do Tasks they Previously Enjoyed

• Negative Changes in Attitude

• Decrease in Performance

​​​

A number of things can cause ​subluxation. Frequent riding or performing, riding off balance/off center, regular athletic work, lack of movement, trauma, previous injury, compensation from an injury, and poor biomechanics are just a few examples. The best way for me to find out if your horse has subluxations present is to use my hands and find out!
