Horse Lameness Care in Broomfield
Is your horse showing signs of lameness? At Top of the Line Chiropractic, we offer specialized chiropractic care to help identify and address the root causes of equine lameness. Regular adjustments can also play a crucial role in preventative care, maintaining proper alignment, reducing the risk of future injuries, and improving overall performance and well-being.
What Caused My Horse to Go Lame?
Lameness in horses may stem from various issues, including sacroiliac (SI) joint problems, hock issues, muscle or tendon strains, low back problems, neck misalignments, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Our comprehensive approach aims to pinpoint the source of discomfort and provide targeted relief.
When you bring your horse to our clinic, Dr. Annamarie begins with a thorough examination. We review your horse’s history, assess their gait and movement patterns, perform muscle tests and proprioception evaluations, and check their range of motion. This detailed assessment allows us to identify any misalignments contributing to your horse’s problems.
Developing the Best Care Plan
Based on our findings, we create custom care plans tailored to your horse’s specific needs. Our goal is multifaceted—we aim to reduce pain and discomfort, improve mobility and flexibility, enhance overall performance, and address any compensatory issues that may have developed. By taking a holistic approach to your horse’s health, we can often achieve significant improvements in their comfort and movement.
At Top of the Line Chiropractic, we understand lameness may be complex. That’s why we don’t hesitate to refer you to other specialists when needed. We may recommend equine dentists for TMJ issues, farriers for hoof-related concerns, or veterinarians for additional diagnostics or treatments. This collaborative approach ensures your horse receives the most comprehensive care possible.
