Katherine E. Lyons, D.C. - Equine Chiropractor Services

With over 12 years of experience in Equine Chiropractic, Dr. Lyons is a valuable part of our health program.  Since childhood, she has been involved with horses in many different areas of the industry.  A graduate of Life Chiropractic College West in San Lorenzo, CA in 1993, she has been working on horses ever since.  As athletes, horses are subjected to many of the same rigors that human athletes are, plus a few of their own.  In addition to the demands of the sport, other factors that might necessitate chiropractic treatment include: accidents or injuries, saddle fit, conformation or symmetry  issues, trailer incidents or long trailer rides to name a few.  Dr. Lyons uses gentle and effective techniques to help restore normal function to the spine, enabling the horses to perform to the best of their ability.  An accomplished dressage rider, Dr. Lyons is able to combine her knowledge of horses and the demands of their jobs with the work that she does.  She works with your horse’s veterinarian to provide a well-rounded approach and believes firmly that horse care is a team effort.
