As part of recent holistic medicines in veterinary practice, chiropractic offers a different view to explain disease. Rather than focusing on treating symptoms it provides a therapy working together with the patients innate.

By an intimate relationship between the spinal column, the nervous system and their roles in biomechanics and movement, chiropractic treatment is intended to restore the normal function through the adjustment of vertebral subluxation complexes (VSC) that may be causing pain syndromes, affecting the dynamics of the neuromuscular system, and altering the normal function of the whole horse directly or indirectly.

Its use in equine medicine goes from the pet companion to the high performance athlete that needs a preventive or complementary support to his demanding sport.
