Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is a hands-on, non-invasive approach to improving the alignment, mobility, and function of the spine and musculoskeletal system. By correcting joint restrictions and restoring proper biomechanics, chiropractic adjustments help relieve pain, enhance performance, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.
Our chiropractic services are designed to meet the unique needs of each patient—whether human or equine. For people, chiropractic can help alleviate chronic back or neck pain, joint stiffness, headaches, and posture-related discomfort. For horses, regular chiropractic care can optimize movement, prevent injury, and address subtle imbalances that affect performance, behavior, or overall well-being.
Each session begins with a comprehensive assessment, including gait or posture analysis, range of motion evaluation, and palpation of joints and soft tissues. This allows us to identify areas of dysfunction and develop a customized care plan that may include spinal or extremity adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and follow-up recommendations.
Chiropractic care is especially beneficial for active individuals and performance horses, where even minor misalignments can have a significant impact on comfort and performance. Whether you’re looking to enhance everyday mobility or support recovery after injury, our chiropractic services provide a safe, effective, and drug-free path to better health.
At our practice, we provide personalized acupuncture treatments designed to meet the specific needs of each patient—whether human or equine. For people, acupuncture can help manage chronic conditions such as back and joint pain, headaches, stress, digestive disorders, and more. For horses, it is especially valuable in supporting performance, aiding recovery from injury, and addressing musculoskeletal imbalances that can affect movement and behavior.
Each session begins with a thorough evaluation to understand your (or your horse’s) health history, lifestyle, and current concerns. From there, we create a tailored treatment plan that may be used on its own or in combination with other therapies such as chiropractic care, massage, or physical rehabilitation.
Whether you’re seeking relief from a specific condition or looking to support long-term health and vitality, acupuncture offers a safe, drug-free solution that treats the whole body—not just symptoms.
Improved Natural Defense System.
Every adjustment provides a boost to your horse’s immune system. Studies have shown that well-adjusted patients have as many as 4 times the number of circulating cells that help fight disease.
Nervous System Optimization.
The nervous system controls every function in your horse’s body and the goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to detect and remove any impingements to the optimal functioning of communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
Realization of Full Biomechanical Potential.
Movement of your horse’s spine begins at the base of the skull. If this joint is not moving properly, it blocks proper motion in other joints of the spine, especially in the neck. Without proper motion of the spine, your horse is unable to express its full athletic potential, even if that is just walking around the pasture.
Positive Brain Changes Experienced.
The chiropractic adjustment improves the brain’s ability to handle activities that are occurring in the background or subconscious of the horse’s brain. This includes the ability to interact with gravity in an appropriate manner.
Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments
Timely rechecks are important for health and well-being.
Realizing everything that happens when your horse gets analyzed for vertebral subluxations will help you understand the need for rechecks. The frequency of visits will depend on a variety of things that include the goals you have for your horse. HIgh performance or just a high quality of life. Subluxations can be caused by traumas (small or large), thoughts (what’s stressful for your horse) and toxins in the environment. Exercises and other modalities will help, however once subluxations are present the only way to remove them is via a very specific adjustment
Chiropractic Expertise
Dr. Lane Torres
I’m Dr. Lane Torres, co-owner and veterinarian for Central Florida Equine. I am also a proud graduate of an AVCA Certified Animal Chiropractic School. As an AVCA Certified Chiropractor, I specialize in the removal of vertebral subluxations.
What does this mean for your animal?The removal of vertebral subluxations allows your animal’s Central Nervous System to function at the highest level. The efficiency of the Central Nervous System is directly related to the functional efficiency of your animal’s entire body. Very important stuff!
I think of chiropractic care as doing the “maintenance work” for your animal’s body. Just as changing the oil and rotating the tires on your vehicle keeps it functioning for longer, chiropractic care allows your animal’s body to function better and for longer.
I am very excited to help your animal function at their best for as long as possible through regular chiropractic care.
