Alternative Therapies
Chiropractic
Dr. Zahn is certified in veterinary chiropractic and has had the opportunity to further her training with Dr. Allen Schoen, who is renowned worldwide as one of the foremost experts in veterinary chiropractic and alternative therapies. When combined with conventional veterinary therapy, alternative medicine is used to treat and prevent many chronic conditions allowing your horse to perform at the best of their abilities.
kt tape
KT tape, also known as kinesiology tape, offers various benefits in equine care. By supporting tendons, ligaments, and muscles, KT tape promotes proper alignment and reduces strain. It can be used proactively to reinforce vulnerable areas, aid in healing during rehabilitation, and alleviate pain by lifting the skin slightly. Furthermore, KT tape improves proprioception, coordination, balance, and athletic performance. Its lightweight, breathable, and non-invasive nature allows for natural movement without restrictions. Consulting with a veterinarian knowledgeable in equine biomechanics and tape application techniques is important to ensure proper usage and maximize the benefits of KT tape in horse care.
Acupuncture
Drs. Browne, Gaeta and Zahn are certified veterinary acupuncturists and use this modality to complement traditional treatments. Dr. Wilford is currently studying at the Chi Institute to obtain her certification in acupuncture.
