We believe that our horses are true
athletes, and as such require special individualized care to keep them
in top form. In addition to our excellent nutrition program we
utilize a team of specialists toward this goal.
Body and Maintenance Therapy
Katherine E.
Lyons, D.C. - Equine Chiropractor Services
Dr. Lyons is a
highly 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
bodywork include: accidents or injuries, saddle fit, conformation
or asymmetries, trailer incidents or long trailer rides to name a
few. Dr. Lyons uses gentle and effective methods to help restore
normal function to the spine, enabling the horses to perform to
the best of their ability. In certain cases, the use of the
highest quality Low Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) may be
employed as well. This highly versatile and effective healing
modality has become mainstream with people, and is starting to do
the same with animals as well. 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
closely with your horse’s veterinarian to provide a well-rounded
approach and believes firmly that horse care is a team effort.
