My (human) chiropractor  takes an Xray of the
spine at the initial visit, and periodically thereafter.
It's obvious to me (seeing the Xrays) how muscles can
cramp, shorten, or what ever, and put the wrong pull
on vertebrae. He then "adjusts" accordingly.
 My husbands thoracic and cervical
vertebrae were actually curving the wrong way due to
years of holding a chainsaw, from a bucket truck,
trimming trees. It took many months of adjustments to fix
his spine, and you could see the results in subsequent Xrays.

Also this guy will give the patient excerises to loosen
extremely tight muscles prior to an adjustment, if
the muscles are so tight that an adjustment may do harm.

Plus speaking of curing ear infections by chiropractic
medicine.  I know a person who's drooping eye lid corrected
itself after several adjustments for another problem.
Everythings connected, right?
I'm all for human chiropractors, 100%.

I have not seen that level of competence in  equine
Chiropractors, or other large animals (in this area).
I've never seen any one even suggest an Xray (Once
you get above the legs, I know the little portable Xray machines
don't cut it). 

Like I said in my previous post, I just may not have
had the opportunity to observe the real thing, 
I'm still waiting.
