Equine Chiropractic vs. Equine Osteopathy

While both support your horse’s movement and performance, they differ in approach and scope.

Equine Chiropractic focuses primarily on the spine and joints. It uses precise, high-velocity adjustments to restore joint mobility, improve nervous system function, and address specific areas of restriction. It’s often very targeted and mechanical in nature.

Equine Osteopathy, on the other hand, looks at the whole horse. It considers how the musculoskeletal system, fascia, organs, circulation, and nervous system all interact. Osteopathy uses a variety of techniques — including structural, cranial, and visceral work — to restore balance and encourage the body’s natural ability to self-regulate and heal.

In simple terms:
Chiropractic often addresses the specific joint restriction.
Osteopathy asks why that restriction developed in the first place.

I would just like to share with you something I would like to brag about!
Being proud of what I do is hard for me as I suffer from low self esteem and imposter syndrome so I am notas flashy about my treatments. I often forget to take before and after pictures.
Sometimes a little self reflection is necessary.
This is my journey with my own dog Charles.
I didn’t talk about this much as it wasn’t something I wanted to admit publicly.
In 2023 Charlie had become very aggressive and I was going to put him down.
Before I did that, I had gone in to see a behavioral specialist to see if anything could be done.
I was told (confirmed with X-rays) that Charles had a torn ligament in his stifle (knee) and my only option was surgery for both legs. Totaling 12k. I was heartbroken 💔 He was 5 years old. My previous dog Leia was 8 years old when she died of cancer. I know that large breed dogs aren’t know for a huge lifespan. 12k is a lot of money for a few years, and the surgery had a low chance of working.
I asked the Veterinarian if something else could help. I mentioned I was an Equine Bodyworker.
The Veterinarian literally scoffed at my suggestion, made a comment about hocus pocus wouldn’t work and my only option is surgery.
In the meantime Charles was now on Prescription pain meds and joint supplements. His monthly bill was over $200 including his food.
So I said to myself that I can fix him “hold my beer and watch this”
So here we are, he’s 7, and no pain meds, no joint supplements. Aggression is down about 90% (we all have our grumpy days)
Apparently I can’t add videos so I’ll try in the comments .
Photo 1 is Charles , at an off leash dog park. Not playing and obese because I couldn’t exercise him.
The other two photos are him recently , in his best shape and physically fit . Long hikes and walks… no aggression.
I am trying to post two videos, the dairy video is from about a year ago , he’s overweight and walks awkwardly.
The other video is him running through long grass, and I just took it today his gate is still a little choppy because of confirmation (Bulldog stance)

Another morning of zoom classes!! Today’s class was how hoof trimming can affect horses posture.
Did you know that if the trim is out by as little as a mm the impact can ricochet up the horses leg effecting every aspect of their body?
I love that I am educated as much as I am and I don’t skimp on education or the cost of the tools I use.
I use top of the line farrier tools and I have more education then most bodyworkers in my area.
Did you know that in Europe, US and other countries you have to be certified to work on horses? Did you know what it takes to become certified?
There are a very small amount of schools in Canada that are equal to this certification process. I am proud of the fact that I have attended these schools and although it has taken many years but to become a certified Osteopath has been a dream for a long time!!
Osteopath, and my barefoot journey is very exciting! I am looking forward to treating many mystery lameness cases and helping many people to continue their riding journey with their horses.

Did a quick trim of Sakura’s feet before heading to work.
They are looking pretty nice these days! Remember her one crooked foot?
🥰 feeling pretty proud of the changes (oh her too, she stood nice and still tonight too)

Today’s school topic was arthritis! What an interesting subject from an osteopathic point of view.
I opened up and asked about my own horse Sakura and whether I am taking the right steps with her.
Stuart McGregor, founder of animal osteopathy was there during this session. He told me to trust the journey and to keep doing what I am doing.
Sometimes it is hard to not doubt yourself and not to hear other’s opinions.

🤩🤩🤩
To help with my Osteopathy schooling I am offering Equine and Canine bodywork treatments for $50.00!!!
This is a great deal as you get a regular bodywork session (regularly $80) and you will get improved Osteopathy treatments as I go along through my schooling.
🌺💐
Get your horse ready for spring with affordable rates

The only thing I ask is with these low rates I may charge some travel fees.

**I am doing regular cleaning, disinfecting and changing clothes to reduce any spreading of Strangles**
🦠 if you still want the reduced rate but you don’t want to risk it, you can still book now for future dates and still receive the discount!
