Stringhalt can be caused by a vertebrae in the spine and or the pelvis being subluxated or a poison from the sweet pea plant. If the sweet pea plant is ruled out then an evaluation by an Animal Chiropractor will help. Stringhalt is when your horse flexes the hind limb like a spasm. If it is a subluxation complex then this is similiar to sciatica in people and I could adjust your horse and give you some exercises which will help. Giving your horse Omega 3 will also keep the inflammation down.
Test your horse by backing him or her up. This is when the stringhalt is more evident, since your horse has to use these muscles and nerves to activate the back up process and thus any nerve irritation will show itself.

Horse has hind end problems - Horse Chiropractor Mass.
Doing Butt Tucks is a great way to test your horse for engagement and tucking under the hind end to move forward. If your horse does not respond to this they may have an issue in the pelvis that a chiropractor can help.
Butt tuck can also be used to strengthen the abdominal muscles which will greatly help with rounding up the back.

The above link is a great comparison. Note that normal gait pattern on hoof movement is heal then toe movement and many of these shod horses strick toe first which alters concussive forces on the hoof and adds to strain on leg joints and spine.

Horse Chiropractor - Colic and Ulcer Symptoms - New England
Many horses suffer from subclinical Gastric Ulcer like symptoms as well as colic. Often times the Vet does not find any specific Ulcer or Colic but your horse is behaving like the entity exists. Horses can exhibit stress symptoms that are sub clinical {not the actual disease} and mimic the ulcer or colic. A Technique in Animal Chiropactic called SOT can be very successful in treating these animals. SOT uses acupressure like points as well as standard chiropractic to alter organ function through the nervous system.
Every organ works based on its neurological input from the brain and spinal cord. All of this input is dependent on the incoming nerve impulses from sensory organs and muscles. These sensory inputs synapse {hook up} with nerves within the spinal cord that regulate organ function through a part of the nervous system called the Autonomic Nervous System. When the chiropractor uses SOT the stimulus to the autonomics is altered when the muslces and spinal joints are worked on. The organs have an inborn mechanism to reset themselves and work normally if all the nerve input is correct. SOT helps the body correct its nerve impulses and thus normalize the system and thus Colic Like symptoms as well as Ulcer Like symptoms can be healed.
If your horse actually has colic or an ulcer they need a Vet, after the Vet care they need an Equine Chiropractor.

Chiropractic for Horses and Dogs Mass. - SacroOccipital Tech. - Gastric Colic and Respiratory Conditions
Sacro Occipital technique is a method in Chiropractic that allows the Chiropractor to evaluate your horse and or dog in a highly specific way that will link spinal function to organ function. Many animals have been helped with various organ issues from gastric distress to respiratory problems. This is not a substitute for Vet Care but rather a method that can help your animal in a holistic manner and avoid the possible medical emergency that will bring you to the vet.
Many horses who chronically Colic have been helped with this technique as well as dogs and horses with allergies and other respiratory conditions.

Equine Chiropractor or Equine Massage Therapist - chiropractor for horses mass.
Stall Calls with Dr. Bruce Indek
"Do I Need an Equine Chiropractor or Massage Therapist?
This is a common question that many owners ask themselves. Well let's first discuss each discipline.
Chiropractic is focused on the nervous system and how the muscles are coordinated by the nervous system. Muscles function based on the input from your horse's sensory system. The sensory system are such things as pressure on the skin, temperature, sounds, sights, and activity from the muscles themselves. All of this sensory activity feeds back into the nervous system where it is interpreted and the correct nerve signals are sent out of the spine to respond to this sensory input. If the muscles are sending information to the spinal nerves and those spinal nerves are pinched within the spine then the information received by then spinal cord will be faulty and a poor response will be sent out, this is like the computer analogy of "garbage in - garbage out." You can exercise and work your horse till the cows come home but nothing will change until the chiropractor removes the nerve interference. Many times an owner will have their horse worked on by the massage therapist and see a difference in the horse's movement and proclaim that is all the horse needed. In many instances this could not be further from the truth. If a horse has muscle imbalance or tightness causing performance issues a massage will loosen those muscles but if there is a nerve pinch then those muscles will only temporarily function better. The symptom of a nerve pinch may only be tight muscles. Having your horse checked by a chiropractor is the only way to know if a pinched nerve exists. The standard Vet. tests cannot detect a pinched nerve at the spinal level; palpation by the chiropractor is the best method to detect this problem.
Massage Therapy is focused on the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage is a wonderful way to help loosen tight muscles and improve bodily movements and function. There are many methods of massage therapy and they all have their benefits. The massage therapist will always evaluate your entire
horse's movement and direct the treatment to the blocked and compensated muscles. Muscles are made up of fibers that work in harmony with each other to produce movement. These muscles are powered by the nervous system. When a muscle is strained or over worked it will develop toxic knots called trigger points which can literally poison the muscle fibers around it and cause poor movement. These trigger points will also send faulty signals to the nervous system causing an even larger error in movement. The massage therapist will work these trigger points out of the muscle and thus restore proper nerve signals back to the spinal cord.
Simply put the Chiropractor will restore the power supply and the Massage therapist will restore the light bulbs.
In the end the real answer to the title of this article is that you need both. If your horse has routine chiropractic or massage consider doing both, in the long run it is cheaper than treating an injury that could have been avoided by regular wellness chiropractic and massage care. If your horse has an issue please consult both to properly assess the cause of the condition. Neither profession is a substitute for Vet Care. Always have your Vet check your horse if there is an injury first, if there are no torn muscles, or broken bones then the chiropractor and massage therapist are the right choice.

Liver illness in dogs and Lyme Tick - Dog Chiropractor Mass.
Liver problems can have very little or varied symptoms. Many times owners have asked me why their dog is vomiting at least once per day and is tired. Some may think the vomiting is normal to rid the body of unwanted stomach contents and the fatigue results from this vomiting. Well it is not unusual to find this in liver disease in dogs.
Liver illness can cause weight loss, increased urination, increased drinking and skin conditions. Sometimes lyme disease can cause liver illness and sometimes the treatment [doxy] can cause it. Even exercise such as a long run in high heat can cause liver damage.
The good news is that dogs have the innate ability to regenerate liver tissue with supplements, especially ones with milk thistle.

Wobblers - Alternative Treatment - Canine Chiropractor Mass.- Boston Area
Wobblers usually affects large breed dogs especially Dobermans and Great Danes. The lower cervical spine has usually caused a narrow canal for the spinal cord to travel through. This narrow canal can be a genetic defect in these breeds. Alternative therapy such as chiropractic, acupuncture and herbal medicine have helped many dogs avoid the surgery.

Horse with Sore Front Leg - Horse Chiropractor Mass - Horse and Rider Chiropractic
Many times there are no findings within the 'sore front leg' and the actual problem is in the opposite Rear hip, SI joint or Low Back region. When the Sacroiliac Joint is subluxated the joint does not move well and the horse will bear more weight on the opposite front leg. You will also find it difficult to turn your horse in the direction of the SI joint that is subluxated. Chiropractic adjustments along with massage will alleviate the SI subluxation and often clear up that sore front limb that has no definitive cause for sensitivity.

Horse Chiropractor - Mass - Balance
It’s All in the Framework
The Framework of your horse and your body is comprised of bones and muscles all coordinated by the nervous system. What if we take this Framework and bend it as well as distort it? When this distortion occurs muscles strain and begin to fail, organs abnormally function due to crowding within the body, abnormal body chemistry occurs due to a change in circulation and waste product build up. To restore this function we need to restore the Framework as well as correct the cause of the Framework distortion.
Many Framework distortions are caused by an abnormal or uneven foundation. The foundation in living things is the Sacrum. A change in the movement of the Sacrum will cause spinal distortions resulting in a loss of energy and vitality while the body attempts to overcome this mechanical defect. In the quadruped [your horse] there is a second foundation which is located in the lower neck.
You may be asking yourself “what causes this distortion?” Well any stress be it physical or emotional can create a short circuit within the nervous system resulting in abnormal muscle movement and pull. This abnormal pull can create locking of joints with ensuing compensation in other joints as well as an alteration in the two foundations being that of the Sacrum and lower neck bones. Once this distortion occurs the cascade of health issues begins.
There are two sets of parallel muscles in the body that travel from the Sacrum/ Pelvis along both sides of the spine all the way to the skull. These muscles must work in harmony. When the Sacrum and Pelvis lock up in movement similar to a “stuck hinge” these parallel muscles alter in function. A method in Chiropractic called “Logan Basic” is utilized to help correct the ligament and Sacrum function thus allowing for restoration of Body Framework. How Logan Basic works is very simply. The Sacrum is the foundation of the spine much like the foundation of your house {see picture 1} when this foundation is stuck out of position it will alter the structure of the whole spine that sits above it, much like the foundation of your home will alter your home’s structure. There is a ligament that supports the movement of the Sarcrum called the Sacrotuberous Ligament {See Picture 2} that often times it will become taught when the Sacrum motion is altered. Logan Basic Technique has its focus on contacting this Sarcrotuberous Ligament with the doctors finger and utilizing a specific amount of tension in a specific direction to ease the ligament tension and allow all of the muscles and joints above the Sacrum to relax in order to improve the Chiropractic Adjustment effectiveness. Logan Basic also has a great impact on the portion of the nervous system that controls organ function since these nerves are located within the Sacrum region as well.
Many times Logan Basic has helped with colic, digestion, incontinence, impregnating difficulties, and even labor. Logan Basic Technique has been used with people since the 1930’s and Animal Chiropractic has been using it over the years as well.

Chiropractor for dogs mass. - OCD
OCD means osteo - chondritis - dissecans. Simply put this means the cartiledge in your dogs joints is decaying. It can be caused by trauma or even genetics. Chiropractic can help the joints that are compensating for this disease and prevent their wear and tear. Your Vet will usually prescribe meds for pain and inflam. It is also helpful to get your dog on a joint supplement. Liguid Joint Supplement found in Human Health Food stores works great and is cheaper. Just figure out your dogs weight and dose accordingly, since the supplement in the human store is for a 150lb person.
Ask your vet about Adequan injections into the muscle. There has been many cases where this has eliminated the limping and along with Chiropractic and Acupuncture many dogs have lived healthy long lives.

Chiropractor for horse Mass- Navicular Syndrome
NAVICULAR SYNDROME
A common complaint among horses with a different approach
The navicular bone serves two purposes. The first is that it acts as a shock absorber and fulcrum for the flexor tendons. The second job of this bone is its ability to help turn on and off blood flow to the coffin bone and hoof.
Symptoms of Navicular Syndrome are: Front leg lameness, inability to go down hill, hesitant to turn, and weight shifted behind front legs.
Common causes are shoe or hoof trimming issues. This syndrome is not genetic but rather acquired. A very common problem that goes unstated is that of poor biomechanics of the rear legs, pelvis and low back leading to Navicular Syndrome. The horse normally carries 65 percent of their weight on the front legs, but when the low back, sacroiliac or pelvic bones do not move freely there is a weight shift and increase in weight bearing on the front legs. This weight shift will cause strain on the Flexor Tendons of the front legs and eventual chronic inflammation of the navicular bone. Chronic inflammation leads to a breakdown of the navicular bone and eventual disease. This alteration in the front hoof will necessitate a change in shoeing and or trimming, but this is just a treatment for the symptoms and not the elimination of the cause. Your Vet will also prescribe anti-inflammatory medication.
You may be asking yourself what else can be done; well having an Equine Chiropractor evaluate your horse after your Vet has seen him is paramount to getting at the possible cause. If there is a Subluxation in the aforementioned regions then the chiropractor may be able to help eliminate the cause of this syndrome. The best time is of course is long before a Navicular Syndrome occurs. Keeping your horse well balanced with periodic chiropractic evaluations, massage, stretching and farrier visits is the best way to prevent Navicular Syndrome and to keep your best friend healthy.
A common complaint among horses with a different approach
The navicular bone serves two purposes. The first is that it acts as a shock absorber and fulcrum for the flexor tendons. The second job of this bone is its ability to help turn on and off blood flow to the coffin bone and hoof.
Symptoms of Navicular Syndrome are: Front leg lameness, inability to go down hill, hesitant to turn, and weight shifted behind front legs.
Common causes are shoe or hoof trimming issues. This syndrome is not genetic but rather acquired. A very common problem that goes unstated is that of poor biomechanics of the rear legs, pelvis and low back leading to Navicular Syndrome. The horse normally carries 65 percent of their weight on the front legs, but when the low back, sacroiliac or pelvic bones do not move freely there is a weight shift and increase in weight bearing on the front legs. This weight shift will cause strain on the Flexor Tendons of the front legs and eventual chronic inflammation of the navicular bone. Chronic inflammation leads to a breakdown of the navicular bone and eventual disease. This alteration in the front hoof will necessitate a change in shoeing and or trimming, but this is just a treatment for the symptoms and not the elimination of the cause. Your Vet will also prescribe anti-inflammatory medication.

Westminster Dog Show - Chiropractor for Dogs
This is an article about Titus my patient. Note website to see him at Westminster.
Dear Marshfield Mariner,
I am a Marshfield resident and I just returned from exhibiting our 22 month old dog, Titus, at the Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden.
Titus is a "canine good citizen" and a multi-best of breed champion. Titus lives with school age children and two champion show dogs. He comes from a long line of dogs competing at Westminster, including his sire, half brothers, aunts, uncles, etc. Last year his aunt won Best of Opposite sex at Westminster.
Titus recently appeared in the national publication "The Rottweiler Magazine Monthly". Titus' sire, Magnum, was ranked #5 rottweiler in the United States in 2005. Titus' half brother, Axel, was ranked #2 rottweiler in the United States in 2006.
Titus enjoys taking long walks at Brant Rock; Rexhame Beach; Humarock and hiking at Nelson Forest and Two Mile Farm. He frequents Marshfield Youth Soccer games. He has quite a fan club, with many spectators who have known him since he was 8 weeks old (when he first started attending games). He is also an obedience Champion with a "Rally Novice" title.
I've attached a picture of Titus winning Best of Breed at the Northwestern CT Dog Show (Sept 2009). From Left to Right: Judge Grace McGlynn (Ms. McGlynn was the rottweiler judge at Westminster this year); "Titus" Multi Best of Breed CH Cammcastle's Quiet Storm of Eis Haus RN CGC; Valerie McGraw (Titus' professional handler and a rottweiler breeder "EIs Haus Rottweilers"). I have purchased the right to publish this picture - so feel free to use it in print or online.
Titus' achievements include:
*Many Best of Breed wins, including "Best of Breed" at 8 months old
* Five Puppy Group Placements and Six Best of Breed- Puppy (including the dog show in Boston)
*Best in Puppy Sweepstakes at the CT River Working Group Association
Titus is a promising young dog. He is currently competing against the top ranked dogs in the United States. Our plans include limited showing until he matures. Until then, we will continue with obedience and having fun with tennis balls and making snow angels!
Titus is co-owned by Marshfield residents Jeffrey Lewis and Elizabeth Lewis.

He appears around the 5 minute mark- being shown by a blond woman with a purple suit (Valerie McGraw).

Westminster Dog Show - Chiropractor for Dogs
Recently a Roty that I have been adjusting named Titus from Marshfield Mass. showed at the Westminster Show in NYC and did awesome!! He is young still, only 21 months but has a very promising future. The owner remarked how flexible he was and had great confirmation which she attributes to his chiropractic care.
