Equine Chiropractor Schools
Equine chiropractors are in high demand among animal lovers and equine enthusiasts. From the backyard pony clubber to competitors at the highest level of international sport, chiropractic adjustments can greatly benefit our equine friends. The American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) certifies equine chiropractors only after interested professionals complete post-graduate coursework. The AVCA has approved five international schools that offer equine chiropractic programs.
