Equine BAC Seminar: A Biomechanical Approach to Chiropractic and other Receptor Based Therapies

Explore an advanced and innovative approach to equine chiropractic care. A comprehensive understanding of equine biomechanics is essential for accurately evaluating movement patterns and the interrelationships among anatomical and neurologic structures, which is fundamental to effective chiropractic assessment and intervention. Our seminars offer an in-depth examination of clinical methodologies, designed to elevate professional expertise, enhance therapeutic proficiency, and optimize treatment outcomes for equine patients. This seminar will focus on the lumbar and cervical regions.  
 
In our seminars, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of equine biomechanics, with a focus on the clinical application of chiropractic principles. Key areas of instruction include:  
 
Assessment Strategies: Improve your ability to distinguish between normal and aberrant movement patterns using advanced assessment tools. The course includes a detailed analysis of equine movement patterns and their practical relevance to chiropractic techniques.  
 
Correction of Aberrant Motion Between Functional Units: Develop hands-on skills to identify and address dysfunctional movement patterns between motion segments using targeted chiropractic interventions.  
 
Techniques to address Hypomobility: Explore evidence-based techniques for restoring mobility, including: High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude (HVLA) Adjustments — with emphasis on both assisted and resisted techniques. Low-Velocity, Low-Amplitude (LVLA) Adjustments — including directed mobilizations, facilitated releases, and traction-based methods.   
 
Techniques to address Hypermobility: Strategies to stabilize hypermobile regions through: Strengthening protocols, stabilization exercises and proprioceptive training techniques  
 
Soft Tissue Interventions: Gain hands-on proficiency in soft tissue techniques—such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy—and how to integrate these techniques with chiropractic care to improve musculoskeletal alignment, improve patient comfort, and optimize biomechanical function. The curriculum also explores the integration of adjunctive modalities, including acupuncture, dry needling and acupressure, to further support therapeutic outcomes.
