WHAT IS MCTIMONEY?

McTimoney manipulation for Animals:

Aligns and balances the animal's musculoskeletal system. By manipulating any misaligned joints throughout the whole body, with special attention to the spine and pelvis, it helps both to restore and maintain health, soundness and performance. It works holistically to eliminate the cause, not just to treat the symptoms.

When to seek help - We rely on owners’ observations and subsequent referrals from veterinary surgeons. Indications include:

  • Lameness after a fall or other accident where alternative causes have been ruled out
  • Uncharacteristic changes in performance, behaviour or temperament
  • Limb-dragging or odd, irregular action
  • Reoccurrence of symptoms previously successfully treated by chiropractic manipulation
  • Absence of any resolution of the problem, using conventional methods

Always consult your veterinary surgeon BEFORE chiropractic treatment, as it is illegal for anyone to treat your animal without your veterinary surgeon's approval.

What causes these problems

Trauma is often the most obvious cause e.g. falls, accidents, slipping, etc. Modern competitions often include tight turns, slippery going and twisty courses. More subtle causes are confrontation problems, such as long or weak backs, ill-fitting equipment, excess weight and even dental problems.

Horses
Horses did not evolve specifically to carry weights on their backs and modern competition places even more strain upon their skeletal structure. In addition to the general symptoms listed above, horses may also need treatment when showing the following signs:

  • Unlevelness, especially behind
  • Uneven wear of shoes
  • Sore or "cold" backs; uneven pressure from saddles, numnahs etc
  • Unexplained deterioration in usual performance
  • Asymmetry, such as stiffness on one rein, or a disunited canter
  • Unexplained resistance; such as napping, rearing, refusing, bucking etc
  • Uneven muscle development or atrophy

As well as falls and accidents horses can damage their backs by; getting cast, slipping on icy or smooth roads and yards, wearing tight rollers, saddles or harness; being unable to meet the demands of jump-offs, advanced dressage etc.

Horses receive great benefit from preventative treatment - they are natural athletes and "fine tuning" helps them perform at their best. Taken from the McTimoney Chiropractic website
