📢 Important Update Regarding EHV-1 & Scheduling

With the recent EHV-1 outbreak, I want to make sure we’re doing everything possible to keep your horses safe, healthy, and protected. 🐴💙

For the next two weeks, I am strongly encouraging all clients to postpone equine appointments unless your horse truly needs to be seen sooner. Limiting exposure is the best way we can protect our equine partners during this time.

If your horse must be adjusted during this period:

➡️ I will only be seeing one barn per day
➡️ A travel fee will apply, since I will not be stacking appointments or visiting multiple locations
➡️ All equipment will be thoroughly sanitized before and after each visit to ensure the safety of every horse I treat.

These temporary precautions are in place out of respect and care for your equine partners, as well as the wider horse community. Your understanding and cooperation mean so much as we work through this safely and responsibly.

If you have questions or need to schedule, feel free to message the page.
Thank you for helping keep our horses safe. 💙🐎

💡 Frozen Shoulder: What You Need to Know 💡

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is when your shoulder becomes stiff, painful, and hard to move — often making everyday activities like reaching, lifting, or even sleeping uncomfortable.

Common signs include:

Limited range of motion

Pain that worsens at night

Stiffness that makes daily tasks challenging

At Hope Chiropractic, we help address frozen shoulder by:
✅ Restoring shoulder mobility through gentle adjustments and soft tissue work
✅ Reducing pain and inflammation naturally
✅ Supporting your body’s healing so you regain function

With proper care, many patients see improved range of motion, less pain, and a faster return to normal activities — without surgery or heavy medications.

💡 Understanding Sciatic Nerve Pain 💡

Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down your legs, gets compressed or irritated. This can cause:

Sharp or shooting pain in the lower back, buttocks, or leg

Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot

Weakness or difficulty moving the leg

At Hope Chiropractic, we focus on addressing the root cause of sciatica — not just masking the pain. Gentle adjustments and spinal care can help:
✅ Reduce nerve compression
✅ Improve mobility and posture
✅ Support your body’s natural healing

Many people find relief without medications or surgery, allowing them to move easier, sit longer, and get back to daily life.

🌟 Did you know? At Hope Chiropractic, spinal decompression is INCLUDED with your adjustment — at no extra charge! 🙌

Many clinics charge a separate fee for decompression therapy, but we believe in giving our patients the best care possible without hidden add-ons or surprise costs.

💆‍♂️ What is spinal decompression?
It’s a gentle, targeted therapy that helps relieve pressure on the spine, reduce disc pain, and improve movement — especially helpful for things like sciatica, herniated discs, and lower back pain.

When you get adjusted at Hope Chiropractic, we include this therapy as part of your visit, because your comfort and healing matter most. 💜

🐴 “What Are You Doing With Their Tongue?” Let’s Talk About It!

This is probably one of the most common questions I get when adjusting horses — and it’s a great one!

When I’m working under your horse’s jaw or gently holding their tongue, I’m assessing and releasing tension around a small but very important structure called the hyoid.

The hyoid sits just under the jaw and connects to the tongue, poll, neck, shoulders, and even the sternum through a chain of muscles and fascia. These include muscles like the occipitohyoid, sternohyoid, and sternocephalicus — all of which play a big role in how your horse carries themselves and uses their body.

The occipitohyoid connects the hyoid to the back of the skull (occiput). When it’s tight, it can pull on the poll, making it harder for the horse to stay soft and relaxed through the neck.

The sternohyoid runs from the sternum up to the hyoid, linking the jaw to the chest. When there’s tension here, it can restrict movement through the throatlatch and shoulders.

The sternocephalicus connects the sternum to the lower jaw and affects head and neck posture. If it’s restricted, a horse might feel uneven through the shoulders or heavy on one rein.

All of these muscles are part of what’s called the ventral fascial chain — a continuous line that runs from the jaw and chest all the way down the underside of the horse to the pelvis and hind end.

That means tension under the jaw or through the sternum can actually affect how the horse engages their core and uses their hindquarters. A tight ventral chain can cause a hollow back, reduced impulsion, or difficulty bringing the hind legs underneath.

By working with the tongue and releasing tension around the hyoid, we’re not just helping the jaw and poll — we’re improving balance, softness, and movement throughout the entire body.

So the next time you see me working with your horse’s tongue, now you know — it’s all about helping your horse move and feel their best from poll to hindquarters.

A relaxed hyoid = a softer, happier, better-performing horse.

If you’d like to learn more or get your horse adjusted, send me a message here or contact Hope Chiropractic to schedule.
