Medical Manipulation

Equine Veterinary Medical manipulation (EVMM) is very similar to chiropractic adjustments. Both use exams to restore normal function and range of motion of joints throughout the body. EVMM examinations usually begin with a baseline lameness exam and seeing how the horse moves. The spine and limbs are then palpated to find restrictions or decreased range of motion. Once a restriction is found, a manipulation is performed to restore the range of motion.

Soundness and performance exams are essential for your equine athlete and companion. When horse’s are feeling their best they can perform at their best. At Premier Equine we offer lameness exams, pre-purchase exams, as well as performance exams. Regular performance exams are recommended every 4-6 months as our equine athletes are susceptible to degenerative joint stress due to high intensity training and showing. Our goal is to detect performance-limiting conditions before they produce a lameness.
