Course Overview

The Advanced Equine Veterinary Medical Manipulation (Chiropractic) is a 20-CE-hour (RACE approved) course, which offers 14 hours of lectures and 6 hours of wet labs in advanced equine adjusting techniques, to veterinarians exclusively.

Students will refine their manipulation (chiropractic) skills, get more from their physical exams and learn new adjusting techniques. The course is open to veterinarians who are graduates of any veterinary spinal manipulation or chiropractic course.

Course Objectives

Refine your techniques: We learn proper technique but somehow over time we pick up bad habits without even realizing it. This is your chance to leave those injury inducing bad habits behind.
Learn new techniques for adjusting: There is not a single method that is effective on all horses. Learn new techniques for everyday situations and for those “one of a kind” cases
Finding uncontrolled joint movement and its cause: Uncontrolled joint movement leads to pain and compensations. The cause is usually a restriction in another area. For example, low back pain during forward bending in humans is often due to a lack of hip flexibility. Learn how to find both the uncontrolled movement and the underlying restriction.
Use muscle development to spot changes in biomechanics before injury: Horses are great at compensating. They can change their muscle recruitment pattern without a noticeable change in gait. Learn to see the changes in muscle development before compensations lead to lameness
