We have already seen an impact with PEMF use in multiple states and now it’s traveling into chiropractic care for our horses as well! As someone who has worked in the veterinary industry and alongside chiropractors for years this change will drastically affect how we care and maintain our horses!
🚨 TEXAS PET OWNERS, HORSE OWNERS, AND FELLOW PROFESSIONALS — PLEASE READ 🚨
We urgently need your help.
The Texas Vet Board is proposing changes to Section 573.14 and they are not just minor updates — they could drastically change how animal chiropractic care is delivered in Texas and limit access to care for your animals.
Here’s what these changes actually mean in real life:
Right now, animal chiropractors can work with a signed veterinarian referral form — allowing us to use our training and expertise to evaluate and adjust animals appropriately.
❗ Under the proposed changes:
• Chiropractors would lose the ability to independently determine what areas need adjustments
• Veterinarians would be required to be physically present during treatments — not just provide a referral
— PEMF treatment like magnawave would only be able to be done by a veterinarian.
This creates serious problems:
➡️ Veterinarians are already overworked and stressed with their work load
➡️ There is a shortage of large animal veterinarians in many areas
➡️ Requiring their physical presence makes care LESS accessible, not more
➡️ It delays or completely prevents animals from getting the care they need
This is why we strongly object, based on three key concerns:
• Lack of training for veterinarians to provide this level of oversight in chiropractic care
• Major restrictions on access to care for animals and owners
• These proposed changes are NOT about safety — they are about control
