What is Chiropractic? 

What is a Subluxation or Fixation?

What happens after the adjustment?

Dr. Amanda is currently offering chiropractic services exclusively for horses. Please note that she does not provide general wellness or sick horse care.
Chiropractic services are available only within the Eldorado, Art Barns, and Lamy areas. Horses located outside these regions may be trailered in or seen through coordination with local barn owners.

To ensure the effectiveness and safety of chiropractic treatment, all horses must meet the following criteria:

  • A physical examination by their regular equine veterinarian within the past 12 months
  • Dental care performed within the last 12 months
  • Farrier care within the last 3 months

These requirements are essential, as proper oral and hoof health are critical to maintaining the benefits of chiropractic adjustments.

Chamisa Chiropractic for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

A subluxation or fixation means a joint is not moving properly which can lead to pain, nerve dysfunction and muscle dysfunction. With chiropractic, we adjust the joint to allow it to move properly, which then relieves pain and improves nerve and muscular function. With this improved function, it allows the body to use its innate intelligence to heal itself.

An adjustment is the use of quick, gentle movements with the hands or an instrument to guide the joints back into alignment and proper function.

​What is an Adjustment?

Chiropractic care is the science and practice of identifying joint subluxations or fixations and restoring proper alignment and mobility through precise manual adjustments

What can I expect from an adjustment?

Special Notes for our Equine Friends

After the adjustment, please allow your pet to rest and don’t resume work or heavy exercise for 24 to 48 hours.  Rarely, pets can be sore after an adjustment and using a hot pack over the area can help.

For your pet to the maximum benefit from chiropractic, I would like to see them back in 1-2 weeks and we usually recommend at least 3-4 adjustments before we decide if it is helping or not.  Animals have much less mental interference and are able to hold adjustments longer than humans.

We can usually expect animals to initially be wary of this type of handling, but once they realize that it helps them feel better, they are willing to cooperate. Sometimes, it can be just a bit painful, but only for a second.  Afterwards, they often have a full body shake and will move around to get used to the new sensations. They may also lick their lips or have a big sigh. Later, some animals are more energized and some are very sleepy- both of these are normal responses.
