Mctimoney is a highly recognised form of animal chiropractic and is used to treat your horses back problems. McTimoney Animal Chiropractors have received training and gained a Post Graduate Diploma in Animal Chiropractic and so are thoroughly qualified to treat your horse. John McTimoney the pioneer in this approach trained with Mary Walker in Chiropractic and then adapted the techniques to animals.
The delivery of McTimoney animal chiropractic is usually done by hand and is different from conventional chiropractic as it is relatively gentle. A treatment is required if your horse has a spinal or pelvic misalignment or fixation. Find out here if your horse may benefit from a treatment. These signs can be subtle or obvious with signs of inflammation, tension, heat and tenderness along the spinal column. When a fixation occurs within a joint, the joint becomes locked at some point within its range of movement placing pressure on the spinal cord, which leads to dysfunction in the part of the body that nerve affects. The purpose of a chiropractic adjustment is to free the joint by releasing the muscle tension locking it in place and when the pressure is released from the spinal cord the body’s normal nerve function can be restored. The whole of your horses body will be treated. It uses short-lever, high-velocity, low-amplitude controlled thrusts to very specific anatomical points and articulations to create a therapeutic response in the horse and improve function of the joint, nerves and surrounding musculature.
