Meet my Saturday morning chiropractic patient… a professional bucking bull.
Rough stock are the real deal when it comes to boundaries and safety, although this bull softened enough with treatment that I was able to include successfully adjusting his atlas (the first vertebrae behind the skull). There was visible improvement in his gait immediately following treatment - and I was able to catch his parting gaze before he loaded the trailer to go home.
Why do bucking bulls need adjusted?
Imagine the stresses their bodies encounter with trailering, the fitted rigging for the athletes that ride them, the bucking and the impact of their performance - those examples in itself warrants corrective care, although pro stock need to perform at their best as well.
So when these bulls and broncs are professionally adjusted, regions of correction eliminate discomfort, improve/eliminate compensation patterns and reduce injury, improve biomechanical function, improve neurophysiological function, and create a stronger bucking athlete.
It’s a win/win for the owner of the animal, the cowboy riding, and the bull or bronc itself.
I look forward to adjusting more athletes this season! Two and four legged…
