Learning how the nervous system connects the Skin, Muscles, Bones, Nerves, Blood vessels and Organs together gives Osteopaths a unique perspective on whole body health. This is why a shoulder problem might tell us to look for ulcers, or Why a poll restriction my predispose your horse for EPM or Lyme....
Any thoughts? Please respond and ask questions!

Perception can change how you see a problem... Do you see that the neck doesn't move to the left with proper rotation? Do you see that the 6th vertebrae is moved to the right? Either answer is correct? But how does that change how you treat it?
What do you think?

What makes Osteopathy different than Chiropractic? I hear this all the time from clients - why would you want to have an osteopath examine and treat instead of a chiropractor?? Over the next couple weeks we will try to give you some reasons.... Please message us with questions!!

When we treat the body as a whole, allow it to heal itself and understand that all the joints in the body need to move for proper health - we can create better and more optimal health for the horse!

Schedule your horse for a session with Dr. Hancock or Callie soon!

This is why mobility in all joints - Bone, Ligament, fascia, nerve and organ is so important! They all effect health and the whole picture in osteopathy

Great tip!! Thanks Stephanie!

Fall Tip:

How do I know when to deworm my horse?

At a minimum, we should perform f***l egg counts twice per year before making a decision about whether our horses need to be dewormed.

A horse with a f***l egg count result between 0 and 200 EPG is classified as a low shedder. A medium or moderate shedder has an EPG between 201 to 500, and a high shedder has an EPG of above 500. F***l egg counts are an estimate of your horse’s parasite burden or worm load.

If you haven't done a FEC this year, contact your primary care veterinarian today.

10/09/2024

Why do we treat so much less than chiropractors? Because we need to allow the body time to heal itself!

10/06/2024

This is why we can't just do one thing and why it takes an hour or 2 to treat the horse - we need to see the whole body and its patterns.

Time to review the basics!
