Equine Services
Dr. Sarena specializes in two primary modalities: Acupuncture and Equine Veterinary Medical Manipulation. Both of these treatments work to create balance within your animal.
These powerful therapies will improve the posture, mobility, function, and performance in your horse.
Read on to learn more about these specialties as well as my other services.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique with origins in traditional Chinese medicine that spans centuries. The practice involves the precise insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to promote the restoration and balance of energy flow. By facilitating these processes, acupuncture supports the body's natural healing abilities and contributes to overall physical, mental, and emotional health.
Acupuncture can stimulate nerves, increase blood circulation, relieve muscle spasms, and cause the release of beneficial hormones. It reduces pain, inflammation, and promotes healing.
Equine Veterinary Medical Manipulation
Equine Veterinary Medical Manipulation (EVMM) is a form of diagnosis and therapy that focuses on assessing and correcting disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
The therapy involves assessing the range of motion of all joints in the body to find areas of decreased motion, called restrictions. Restrictions can cause poor performance, pain and muscle tension. The treatment involves gentle, specific adjustments of these restricted joints to aid in restoration of normal range of motion and increase comfort. This promotes natural healing of the body and a realignment of painful, stiff, and otherwise affected joints and tissues.
By law, the term “chiropractic” refers only to human medicine and can only be practiced by a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine. Similarly, only licensed veterinarians may become certified Equine Veterinary Medical Manipulation (EVMM) practitioners.
