I was going to have a trainer ride her today, but she was too sore for it. I didn’t even saddle her due to how sensitive her back is right now.

    This is more like physical therapy than chiropracty. There’s no actual cracking or popping of joints. It’s called chiropracty by most folks because it’s simpler. I’ve never had a people chiropractor do proper body work and stretching on me ever.

    The vets recommend this stuff for horses, too, so it isn’t quack science. Each vet, at least the ones I know, have chiropractors they work with.

    I was very hesitant about the whole practice until I saw it being done and saw how great it was for the critters

      Then they shouldn’t call it that.

      The word has a definition, and quack science explanation that defines the “field”.

      “Chiropractors” who provide proper care aren’t exactly being honest, either. They don’t call themselves that because it’s simpler. They do it because it’s illegal for them to claim to be medical professionals.
