Frequently Asked Questions

What is equine sports medicine chiropractic?
It's a combination of chiropractic adjustment, biomechanical assessment, and soundness evaluation aimed at how your horse moves and performs, not just treating an existing injury. Dr. Kristen brings a DVM background to that work, so she's evaluating the whole horse, not just the spine.

Do I need to bring my horse to a clinic?
No. Sonoran Equine Sports Medicine is fully mobile. Dr. Kristen comes to your barn throughout the greater Phoenix metro area, Tuesday through Thursday.

Does Sonoran Equine Sports Medicine treat dogs too?
Dr. Kristen focuses primarily on horses. Dog and cat chiropractic is handled through the sister practice, Sonoran Animal Chiropractic.
