Weight shifts unconsciously. One hoof begins to bear more load. The skull subtly tilts. One shoulder hikes. The upper cervical spine bends just enough to keep the eyes level.
These compensations allow the horse to functionโuntil one structure can no longer keep up. That moment of decompensation is when pain appears.
It may surface in the neck, back, pelvis, a limb or SI. Chiropractic care is often sought, yet things never seem to โhold.โ Adjustments are repeatedly needed, but the same patterns return.
The body does not compensate quietly.
Every uneven jaw closureโevery bite, clench, or grindโcreates asymmetric tension. One side pulls harder than the other. Cranial nerves fire unevenly. Muscle tone shifts. A single crooked point of contact becomes a full-body holding pattern.
The result?
One shoulder higher than the other. One foot flared. A twisted ribcage. A choppy gait. Under saddle, something feels offโyet itโs difficult to explain or pinpoint.
Another routine โfloatโ isnโt enough.
Correcting jaw misalignment isnโt about a single adjustment or simply removing enamel. Itโs about restoring communication and balance between all body systemsโrecognizing that the mouth does not exist in isolation, but acts as a primary driver of whole-body organization.
Osteopathic Dentistry is different.
It requires an in-depth understanding of the entire bodyโs anatomy and physiology, and how each system influences the next.
We do not suppress symptoms.
We identify the cause.
Without understanding the cause, we are simply chasing symptoms.
Changing the paradigm of equine dentistry, one horse at a timeโwhile preserving anatomy, mobility, and the dignity of the horse.
We love a good mystery, but even more than that, we strive to be your preventative teamโhelping keep issues from arising in the first place.
