Dr. Wayne Grimm, Equine Chiropractor, has helped balance and heal many equine athletes! Dr. Grimm says some problems in the horse can come directly from the spine, causing horses to compensate in their movement, making them sore in other places. When the vertebrae get out of place, this puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots causing a dysfunction in the body. This can occur in the Musculoskeletal system or the Autonomic nervous system which controls everything else in the body. I highly recommend Dr. Grimm's exceptional services.
