Heart-centered care for equines.
Horses respond tremendously well to chiropractic care.
They are highly intelligent, powerful beings capable of deep, meaningful connections and extraordinary movement patterns. Chiropractic is a beautiful way to help keep them feeling and moving their best.
Why Chiropractic care is important…
We understand that horses experience stress and trauma in their bodies just as humans do. Left unattended over time, these stored experiences result in abnormal, compensatory movement and tension patterns in the body that can negatively impact health, performance, and quality of life. Chiropractic care is a beautiful way to help the body re-work these stress patterns and restore wellness and function.
How to know if Chiropractic is right for your horse…
Common Signs and Symptoms:
muscle tightness and soreness
unexplained gait issues and lameness

“Dr. Jess has changed the quality of life for my rescue horse. Her thoughtful care, knowledge, and intuition have guided her adjustments for Jack that has helped him to find his feet and balance when descending on a trail and has relieved jaw pain to improve his ability to chew, leading to a needed gaining of weight. The changes are measurable and incredibly beneficial to his quality of life and also to our join safety as we ride the local trails and hills. Highly recommend.”

“Dr. Jess greatly exceeded my expectations and I’m not sure who was happier after Willow’s treatment, Willow or me! Seeing Willow’s eyes soften after adjusting just the “right” spots, the lowering of her head and heavily sighing told me everything I needed to know. At one point I thought I would cry after seeing Willow’s responses. Relief! I think it was one of the most wonderful things I have ever had the opportunity to do for my beloved Willow. No doubt we’ll be back for more.”

“Sheba had been tripping for years, I had done Masterson and had chiropractic performed with her countless times, which made her feel better, but didn’t stop the tripping. Dr. Jess was able to locate some deep tightness in Sheba’s thoracic sling and work through that in a gentle, yet very effective manner. I am beyond thrilled to report the tripping has become nothing but a memory. Sheba and I are very grateful to Jess for her kind and sensitive work. We will definitely be seeing more of Jess in the future!
