in Dogs
Dogs showing behavioural signs of pain (Helsinki Pain Index) when wearing a harness show increased sensitivity to pain of the thoracic musculature compared to dogs showing no behavioural pain. Chiropractic techniques focus on correction of joint function of the spine…
What are the life stories of equine clients’ relationships with their animal chiropractor?: an exploration into the socio-cultural impacts on animal chiropractor-client relationship through narrative inquiry

in Treatment effects
There is no research into the animal chiropractor-client relationship which is an integral part of the treatment process and can influence aftercare adherence and animal welfare. This preliminary study aimed to explore and shed light on possible influences on the…

Preliminary investigation into the effects of chiropractic treatment, myofascial release, and a combined treatment on mechanical nociceptive thresholds of horses Chiropractic treatment alone and when combined with myofascial release techniques (MFR) reduced response to pain compared to no treatment or…
The effect of chiropractic treatment for horse riders on the saddle pressure distribution beneath the saddle
02/03/2021 by McTimoney Animal
in Horse-rider interactions
The horse-saddle-rider interaction is recognised as an important factor in performance impairment.
Weight bearing asymmetries in horse riders have been identified but not investigated for effects of correcting this imbalance.
Positive evidence that chiropractic treatment improves the weight distribution symmetry of the rider under the saddle immediately following treatment.
Preliminary investigation into the effects of chiropractic treatment and combined with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on mechanical nociceptive thresholds of horses

in Treatment effects
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.
A preliminary investigation of limb coronal movement range in horses and relationship to pelvic symmetry
02/03/2021 by McTimoney Animal
in Pelvic symmetry
The lateral gait movement of horse’s limbs was sensitive to the symmetry correction of pelvic rotation
This may have implications when assessing and improving horse gait and performance.
Further study would be required with larger cohorts and effects over time to establish a relationship
