Dr. Joe Lally, DC, CAC, has helped a significant number of horses return to work or improve their performance using a technique he calls Equine Performance Balancing. This technique uses chiropractic treatments in conjunction with muscle work, acupressure and myofascial therapy. Instead of focusing only on the spine, Dr. Lally also considers the muscles, connective tissue, and nerves that are affected by an imbalance in the horse. Dr. Lally says, You can start anywhere in this circle of nerve irritation, muscle spasm, and joints moving incorrectly, but you have to address the entire circle.
