What is Chiropractic? 

What is a Subluxation or Fixation?

What happens after the adjustment?

  • Dr Amanda is only providing chiropractic care for horses.  She is not offering any wellness or sick horse care. 
  • She is also only caring for horses in the Eldorado, Art Barns and Lamy area.  Care for horses that reside outside of these areas can be trailered in and/or coordinated with local barn owners. ​
  • All horses receiving chiropractic care must have had an examination with their regular equine veterinarian within the last year, dental care within the last 12 months and farriery within the last 3 months.  Without good mouth and hoof care, adjustments will not hold and your horse will not see good benefit from this service. 
  • All scheduling for equine chiropractic care should be made via email at chamisa.chiropractic@gmail.com


Chamisa Chiropractic for Dogs, Cats and Horses

A subluxation or fixation means a joint is not moving properly which can lead to pain, nerve dysfunction and muscle dysfunction. With chiropractic, we adjust the joint to allow it to move properly, which then relieves pain and improves nerve and muscular function. With this improved function, it allows the body to use its innate intelligence to heal itself.

An adjustment is the use of quick, gentle movements with the hands or an instrument to guide the joints back into alignment and proper function.

​What is an Adjustment?

Chiropractic is the science and art of identifying subluxations or fixations of joints and guiding them back into alignment and proper motion. 

What can I expect from an adjustment?

Special Notes for our Equine Friends

After the adjustment, please allow your pet to rest and don’t resume work or heavy exercise for 24 to 48 hours.  Rarely, pets can be sore after an adjustment and using a hot pack over the area can help.

For your pet to the maximum benefit from chiropractic, I would like to see them back in 1-2 weeks and we usually recommend at least 3-4 adjustments before we decide if it is helping or not.  Animals have much less mental interference and are able to hold adjustments longer than humans.

We can usually expect animals to initially be wary of this type of handling, but once they realize that it helps them feel better, they are willing to cooperate. Sometimes, it can be just a bit painful, but only for a second.  Afterwards, they often have a full body shake and will move around to get used to the new sensations. They may also lick their lips or have a big sigh. Later, some animals are more energized and some are very sleepy- both of these are normal responses.
