Horse chiropractic treatment by equine chiropractor

[ktgodwin100]

Equine chiropractics aren't covered by insurance - they're covered by equine lovers who don't want their animals in pain because they love them.

I was wondering, where do you practice? and if not within the U.S. do you know of any good equine chiropractors within the Cleveland, OH area? I go to lake erie college and am curious about this....

@prettyponybaby2007 Hi, I live in Australia :-)

If you want to find a practitioner near you, you can just go to the naturallycomplementary. com directory. It lists thousands of practitioners for all types of complementary and alternative medicine for animals worldwide.

If you go to "directory.naturallycomplement­ary. com" select "Listings", "Advanced Search" you can then search for "Chiropractors and manuipulators for animals" in your state. There are 11 listed for Ohio.Hope this helps.

This is a great video! I wish chiros took care of people this meticulously(full postural&gait exam, palpation, testing, specific gentle effective adjustment, and an actual post check) The profession would be in a much better position. All I see is docs doing the H.E.D.O. (hit every damn one) You know: the flying seven complete with bilateral "kick start your Harley" on both sides of the pelvis, three whacks up the thoracic, topped off with a four finger cervical on both sides of the neck!

@sasciame :-) Thanks very much for taking the time to comment, it is much appreciated!

I trained with Options for Animals and the IAVC (International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic). Both schools are excellent and emphasise the importance of all the elements you mention above, plus taking a full case history and working with other professions (vets, farriers, saddlers etc.) I’d definitely recommend them to anyone consider training to be a chiropractor for animals. Thanks again.

Hey, I'm quite interested in following this type of career myself but really didn't want to spend so much time on getting all these qualifications. I'd like to start my career before my life's over! I understand how much there is to learn about this, but am shocked to find that there isn't a way of learning without getting a 4, 5 or 6 year degree which is either a fully qualified Osteopath, Chiropractor or Veterinarian. Is this really the case?!

@FreeSpirit168 Hi, I'm afraid you’re right re qualification time. A great alternative would be schools like Equinology or Tall Grass Institute. They teach a wide range of musculoskeletal and acupressure techniques - fantastic therapies & very beneficial for animals. You can also train & qualify much quicker -”before your life is over"! To find a school/course in your area, go to the naturallycomplementary directory website, select "listings", then "Schools & courses"

Good luck!

Hey, sorry me again.

I was wondering if you knew of the quality of a particular college I found out about. It's located in Monbulk, Victoria and is called the Australian College of Animal Tactile Therapy. Just wondering if you've heard of it, and if it would be a good place to study. Thank you!

@FreeSpirit168 Hi Free spirit - no worries!

I haven’t taken any of their courses personally so I couldn’t really say, sorry :-( But I have taken a large number of the Equinology courses which were absolutely excellent and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending them. Best of luck, let us know how you go!

Is this just like human chiropractic where you're "cured" when the PIP insurance is depleted?

Wow Im thrilled to see all this cool stuff im actually considering it for grad school could I do this?? How do you become a horse chiropractor, what schools can you find this??

[MrMichuzz]

becoming a chiropractor is one of the best career decisions in the world!!!

there are many colleges around the world but there is only one post grad course for horses as far as im aware and that taught through rmit in australia.

otherwise the skills are usually passed down from generation to generation. Im a 4th generation chiropractor to be. I go to the new zealand college of chiropractic and am loving it ... highly recomend this school!!!!!!
