Chiropractic Medicine
Equine chiropractic care is the practice of identifying and addressing areas within the horse’s body that are not moving within their normal range of motion. This comprehensive complementary form of medicine enhances the horse’s overall health and restores optimal spinal and joint function by improving nerve conduction, joint mobility, muscle development, and immune function. Dr. Martin provides chiropractic care that can benefit any horse, from performance partners to seniors managing chronic issues.
