EQUINE VETERINARY MEDICAL MANIPULATION

We are excited to announce that Dr. Katy White is now offering equine veterinary medical manipulation (EVMM)!

This manual therapy, similar to chiropractic work or spinal manipulation therapy, includes a full-body assessment of the horse and incorporates spinal manipulation, fascial work, trigger-point therapy, acupressure, and massage. Dr. White completed a certification program with over 150 hours of training from the Chi University in Ocala, Florida that is specifically for veterinarians with a focus on performance horse medicine and rehabilitation.
