Horse & Large Animal Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care for horses and livestock offers a natural way to ease discomfort and improve motion without medications. These animals carry weight, work hard and sometimes develop stiffness, soreness, or injuries that affect their movement. Dr. Campo has helped horses and livestock animals all over Arizona from weekend trail companions, competition horses, show cattle and ranch animals. Chiropractic care can enhance their comfort, balance and stride.

How can I tell if my horse or large animal would benefit from chiropractic care?

Look for signs such as uneven movement, stiffness in turning, poor saddle fit, or resistance under saddle and harness, shortened stride, or changes in behavior when handled. Livestock may show reluctance to move freely, stand unevenly, or appear sore in the back or hips.

What types of large animals benefit from chiropractic?

Horses are the most common patients, but cattle, goats, and even show animals can respond well. Any animal with a spine can develop misalignments that chiropractic care can help.

What happens during a chiropractic session for large animals?

Dr. Campo will start by reviewing your animal's history and observing them moving and standing. He'll palpate the spine and major joints to find tight or misaligned areas. He will then make precise, gentle adjustments where needed to restore movement and comfort.

Are chiropractic treatments safe for horses and large animals?

Yes. When performed by a qualified animal chiropractor, adjustments are gentle, controlled and well accepted, even by big horses with big muscles and thick backs.

Will chiropractic help my horse's performance in competitions?

Many owners report improved flexibility, smoother gaits, and better performance after treatment. Adjustments can support training goals, help fine-tune movement, and even reduce injury. Read more on our Performance/Competition page.

How soon will I see improvements?

Some horses move more freely right away. Others may take a few sessions to relax fully. Improvment in gait, posture, or willingness to work often shows in the first few visits.

How often does my horse need to be adjusted?

It depends on their work level and symptoms. Some horses do well with monthly maintenance, others may need more frequent care during training or after veterinary treatment.

Can chiropractic be part of healing after injury?

Yes. Adjustments can aid recovery by reducing pain, restoring proper movement, and supporting the healing process, especially when combined with vet care.

Can chiropractic help my horse's mood or behavior?

Often, yes. Many owners notice more relaxed, willing horses after chiropractic care. Adjustments can release built-up tension and make handling or riding smoother for both horse and handler.
