You may be wondering how little Dr. Chelsey adjusts a 1200lb horse?

An Animal Chiropractor does not “Move” or Treat a 900 – 1200 pound horse.  She treats individual motion units of the horse, one at a time, each weighing no more than 30 – 40 pounds.  Non-chiropractic animal manipulators are the ones that try to treat large areas of the horse at one time.
