Hello Everyone!
I am returning back to work slowly, but surely! I will be seeing four legged and two legged patients in the clinic at Tamarack Physical Therapy still and I will return to horses the week of September 29th. Please feel free to reach out. I will be seeing existing clients and new canines, but I am not currently accepting new patients at this time until I get caught up. I appreciate all of you and I’m so grateful for your patience through our chapter of adding baby Roslynn Rae to our now family of 🖐️

Good explanation of equine chiropractic care!

𝗜𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗳, 𝗼𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼?
A single chiropractic adjustment has helped some horses go from 3D to 1D — and yes, we’ve seen it happen firsthand.
Here’s why 👇

💥 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘

🏇 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 = 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 + 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵-𝗼𝗳𝗳
Barrel horses rely on full mobility through their spine, pelvis, and hips.
Misalignments can cause:
– Hesitation in the turn
– Blown barrels
– Shortened stride
– Pain-related resistance

📊 𝟴𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗙𝗥 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆
Top-level horses are typically adjusted every 2–4 weeks during peak hauling season.
Why? Because 1/10 of a second matters at that level.

🧬 𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗔𝗗𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 = 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗦

We’ve worked on horses that went from:
• Hitting barrels to clean runs
• 3D to 1D times
• Back sore to striding freely
…all after one adjustment.
Every horse is different — but when something’s out of place, they can’t give you 100%.

📅 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗢𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗦𝗘 𝗕𝗘 𝗔𝗗𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗗?

✅ Every 4–6 weeks for maintenance
✅ Every 2–3 weeks while hauling or competing
✅ After injury, dental work, or sudden performance drops
✅ Anytime your horse “just feels off”
