Sandy isn't feeling the greatest. Her back is outta place so I have to get a chiropractor(equine physiotherapist) to fix it.

Edit: some of y'all are upset about horse chiropractor. Called the dude up and he is an equine physiotherapist and people just call him "the chiropractor"
I was going to have a trainer ride her today, but she was too sore for it. I didn't even saddle her due to how sensitive her back is right now.
That sound exactly the same, actually.
How are they regulated? Because if they aren't, then you don't really know what you're getting.
"Good" chiropractors will stick to the same treatments that actual medical professionals would prescribe, and hence produce results at times. But that doesn't change the fact that it's not a protected term that brings with it some kind of license or education.
As such, no-one who takes doing things right seriously goes by it. To people who science, the term sits right next to homeopathy, and will never be associated with serious medical care.
This is more like physical therapy than chiropracty. There's no actual cracking or popping of joints. It's called chiropracty by most folks because it's simpler. I've never had a people chiropractor do proper body work and stretching on me ever.
The vets recommend this stuff for horses, too, so it isn't quack science. Each vet, at least the ones I know, have chiropractors they work with.
I was very hesitant about the whole practice until I saw it being done and saw how great it was for the critters
Then they shouldn't call it that.
The word has a definition, and quack science explanation that defines the "field".
"Chiropractors" who provide proper care aren't exactly being honest, either. They don't call themselves that because it's simpler. They do it because it's illegal for them to claim to be medical professionals.
