Helping your horse feel and move their best

At the UGA Large Animal Hospital we’re proud to offer equine acupuncture and chiropractic care as part of a comprehensive approach to your horse’s health. These therapies work alongside traditional veterinary medicine to help horses move more comfortably, perform at their best, and recover more efficiently from injury or strain. Whether your horse is a competition partner, a ranch horse, or a beloved trail companion, maintaining proper comfort and mobility is essential.

Acupuncture and chiropractic treatments can help by:

  • Reducing pain and soreness
  • Improving flexibility and range of motion
  • Enhancing performance and balance
  • Supporting recovery after injury or intensive work
  • Promoting overall relaxation and wellbeing

Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses very thin, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body. These points help influence nerves, muscles, and circulation, supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses on the alignment and mobility of the spine and joints. When a joint isn’t moving correctly, it can cause discomfort, reduced performance, and compensatory strain in other parts of the body.
