Oral presentation at Equine Science Society Symposium 2021, International Society of Equitation Science conference 2021, Poster presentation at Saddle Research Trust conference 2021.
Highlights
- Chiropractic therapy and pulsed electromagnetic therapy are frequently considered to support horses and their musculoskeletal health.
- Evidence of their effects on back musculature is important to understand for effective use.
- This study provides positive evidence of an effect on muscle tenderness in the back compared to no treatment.
