Laurie, do you mind if I ask who you use? I'm in SE PA right near Fair Hill, so maybe not too far for your chiro. I have one horse I'd love to have looked at.Quote:

Not sure what the call fee is, but my horse gets both treatments in one visit. Usually don't need her again for another 6 months.
Chestnut Run, she's in Frenchtown, NJ, maybe not too far from you. She travels to several states to work on horses. Her name is Dr. Carole Edwards.
$95, very experienced DVM who now only does chiro/ acupuncture. :)
Me too. I don't pay a call fee. That is the total cost. It's about $50 more for the first visit and then it's a straight $125. I pay this for a vet that specializes in chiro work.Quote:

$35 for the local gal, who is quite good, $40 for the really great body worker and chiro that I have to haul to... But hauling costs me $90 to get there. If she ever comes here it is $60.
Neither is a vet but both are certified in chiro, bowen, and energy work and I have been happier with what they have done than I was with the MUCH more expensive DVM... As was my horse.
Definitely a little woo-woo, but if the horse gives it a thumbs up, then I am game.
$90 per horse for DVM who now only does chiro (horses, dogs, etc)
So this person is not a vet but is a doctor in human chiro right?Quote:

I use a vet who was previously a fantastic routine care vet, and now specializes in only chiropractic, acupuncture, and occasional sport horse medicine; seems like I usually pay about $150, splitting a visit with a neighbor, and we live 90 minutes from her. Worth every penny to me as my horse is amazingly sounder and more comfortable after an adjustment.
Nope, not a human chiro, but has done class work in horse bodywork, acupuncture, energy work, and Bowen.
OK, not trying to be mean here at all but you are getting the wool pulled over your eyes. The reason it is only $35 is because it is not a legit business, they have no insurance, they are not certified in chiro, they have no business practicing veterinary med, hmmm and probably many other things! This is like saying that your hair dresser charges $20 for chiro on your horse and is certified to do so! I am actually surprised it isn't cheaper since they are not legit and have no training. You may want to do your homework, they can't be certified in chiro.Quote:

I think the assessment and adjustment were $75.00 and the call was split among 4 owners. I think it was about $100 + tax.
by a vet who specializes in chiro work.
My own vet is currently taking the course and will be certified next month!
The requirements and certifications vary from state to state. While I would be careful about using a non-DVM, it doesn't mean someone isn't skilled. My state doesn't require certifications and I pay $130 to a person that isn't a vet.
$125 for one horse, $110 for more than one. He's a human chiro doctor, does humans, equines and dogs.
It's been a while since I had to do chiro but the guidance price I can remember is ... $TOO DAMN MUCH. They tend to take some incredible hourly wages, which is understandable with their education. Still, I'm happy I haven't needed it for a while. :lol:Quote:

I agree in many ways, BUT - thankfully unlike with quack doctors or untrained barefoot trimmers, fake chiropractors can rarely do very much damage. If my friend had some massage courses and offered to try it out on my horse I'd totally accept; I sure as hell wouldn't pay her anything for it but I wouldn't be worried that she'd do damage. Of course I realise there's a difference between massage and chiro, but ... still?:-)Quote:
