There are a multitude of health and performance issues which can be addressed with the use of chiropractic treatment. The aim of chiropractics is to remove areas of restriction and ensure the nervous system is able to function without being impeded by the musculoskeletal system. An area of restriction describes a joint which has a restricted motion and is unable to move through its full natural range of motion. These areas of restriction can interfere with the underlying nervous system and cause interferences in the signals being sent between the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Removing these restrictions allows the horse to function and perform at their best.
