I agree this don't even look pleasent for the horse and if the practitioner need to block it self from the animal something is wrong. I am an equine osteopath with over 15 years in the business and I never needed to block a horse from kicking me due to doing an adjustment.

Very interesting. I've always been uncertain about chriropractors in general, I know many that swear by it, but always had poor experiences personally after several back surgeries. I'm a licensed farrier, I'm years out of practice and have likely forgotten more than I ever learned, but seeing the way this guy is jerking around legs made me very nervous. I acknowledge I'm no vet, and not claiming I know more than this guy in any way. I guess I'm just curious if there is actually scientific evidence backing up this practice. We own a couple of horses, as do relatives. My sister-in-law recently started using a horse chiropractor and loves it. We have a horse that may benefit from it, but are hesitant to jump into something like this. I cannot find any scientifically based information on the mechanisms of action. Any recommendations on where something like this can be found?

[@7evYT]

This is a very good question, because I've sort of always wondered the same thing. I've been to a chiro before, and the guy was a straight chad. We actually kinda became buddies in my time seeing him. He came out to the parking lot with me one day after an adjustment and wanted to sit on my motorcycle, so I let him. Then he asked me to turn it on. I was hesitant, but went through a spiel of what he MUST do if I turn it on. I turn it on, he's revving it, and I see his clutch hand slowly letting up and before I could jump, he was off. It reared up on the back tire and it was off to the races man. He slammed into the side of a parked van and shatters out all the side glass, and then goes up over the handlebars after running it into the side of a brick building. I was legitimately stunned for a few seconds after it happened, because it was so quick that I was thinking this man might be severely injured. Luckily he popped right back up, and this full on Chad was uncomfortably embarrassed about what he had just done. Then we walk back inside and my boy just writes me a check to fully pay off the bank on what I still owed them for it. Oh, and the van he smashed up was like some church or school trip van for a bunch of kids going on a trip like right then. So he paid for their whole group to get an even better van service too. I couldn't be mad at the guy after that.

[@mcreena]

I'm not sure where to find scientific literature online, but I do know of a lot of good veterinary schools where animal chiropractic accreditation is taught. I figure there has to be at least some sort of benefit, if at least not any harm, if veterinary schools are teaching it. Also, any proper animal chiropractic accreditation requires the student to first be a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine, so it's not like some rando without any medical training can become a properly licensed animal chiropractor. I suspect it's an unregulated industry, so anyone could technically become one, but if you want an accredited one, they'd have to be a vet first. I'd figure it has the same amount of weight as human chiropractic, which has been shown to provide release from vertebrae that have begun to compress the soft disks between them. Adjustments help reverse this compression and provide relief that way. A lot of people claim chiropractic practices help a whole slew of health issues, but imo it'd only impact those if they were directly impacted by the compressed spine. So I think chiropractic practices have some validation, I just think their benefits have been overblown by people looking for "alternative" practices. A lot of human chiropractors are first physical therapists who see benefit in working with joints as well as muscles. They see it as _part_ of a whole, not the whole cure. I can give an anecdotal piece of evidence towards animal chiropractic though, if that helps. We had an animal chiropractor come to our barn to work on our ponies. It was interesting, especially because you can't always hear the crack when they're working on animals. A lot was just seeing the behavior of the animal. Well, one really interesting moment came when they were working on Spirit, a pony of ours who was always skittish around people and hated being touched, even by other horses (surprisingly, or perhaps not so surprisingly, the only one she had no issue with touching her was our farrier! Maybe because he was all legs and left her back and neck alone). We managed to get her calmed down enough to let the chiropractor work on her back, and at one point we all heard this loud CRACK. It was so loud it echoed through the barn, almost like a shotgun going off. After the adjustment was done, Spirit was just different. She wasn't suddenly a happy sociable horse, but she wasn't afraid of touch anymore. She started responding to the work our head barn manager was doing with her and became more sociable. She still needs regular adjustments to keep up whatever adjustment had initially helped. It became pretty clear to us that she had been in pain all this time, and the adjustment helped provide relief, and helped her begin to branch out socially. So I think there's something to it, I just don't know if it's the miracle cure people think. I also think you would want an experienced and accredited chiropractor looking at your animals too, especially horses. Ours didn't adjust the legs at all, just the spine, and had over a decade of working with horses specifically.
