We have realized acupuncture and chiropractic therapies not only offer effective ways to treat current performance related conditions but are even more valuable in preventing them.
Dr. Scott Anderson completed certification courses in acupuncture in 1991 and chiropractic medicine in 1993. It has been his goal to integrate these forms of medicine with traditional lameness work and he uses them in conjunction with each other. Dr. Anderson has found the combination of these two disciplines to be helpful in assessing and treating the equine athlete.
From 2017 to 2020, Dr. Andrew Smith served as a Clinical Assistant Professor in large animal surgery at the University of Florida. During that time, he became certified in equine spinal manipulation. Dr. Smith’s special interests include sports medicine, diagnostic imaging, podiatry, and sinus disease.
