Treatment modalities

Chiropractic Care
I use a combination of different techniques to try to enhance the range of motion within your horse's joints.

Acupuncture
Benefits of acupuncture include:
-
Performance enhancement
-
Pain relief.
-
Rehabilitation from injury.
-
Treatment of neurological disorders, including headshaking, radial nerve paralysis and laryngeal hemiplegia (roaring).
-
Treatment for other chronic conditions, including behavioural issues.

Myofascial release
The fascia connects all the muscles in the body. Treatment with a combination of massage, acupuncture and laser helps tight muscles to regain a full range of mobility, resulting in increased range of motion in the joints which they stabilize.

Nutrition consultation
With a Level 5 Diploma in Equine Nutrition, I offer feeding consultation appointments for your horse, based on workload, veterinary history and our horse's individual needs.

Laser Therapy
I use a Class 3B laser to stimulate acupuncture points when horses do not like needles. The laser does not get hot, and it is set at a specific wavelength and frequency to stimulate specific reactions in cells which lead to release of chemicals that result in local pain relief and increased blood flow.
I also have a Class 4 Laser to help with rehabilitation and pain relief. Although it can help in a number of cases, it is mainly used for back and tendon pain, and wound healing.

Rehabilitation Planning
As a Certified Equine Rehabilitation Therapist and veterinarian, I can help to guide correct rehabilitation techniques.

Podiatry services
Working in close conjunction with your podiatrist or farrier, remedial trimming and shoeing centred around the findings from foot balance radiographs can improve outcome and performance.
