Audited net circulation 15,581* ABC (Dec 2014) Horsing Around SPINAL COLUMN As a Chiropractor practising in Cambridge, I am often dealing with patients whose injuries stem from working with or riding horses. Just about every facet of the equine industry has its own potential for injury. Jockeys and riders get injured in falls, farriers suffer from posture related pain, dressage competitors require perfect postural balance and poise, hunters often tumble, stable hands strain their backs with lifting and shovelling. Recreational owners may get knocked by their horse when loading them into a trailer, and old timers may still suffer the results of injuries of many years ago. My simple advice to horse riding folk is this: 1- Riding horse; good 2-Falling off horse; bad 3- Shovelling horse poo; very bad. Riding exercises and strengthens the postural ‘core’ muscles around the spine, and good coaching will improve posture and balance. Often aches and pains will diminish with the movement of riding, however falling off rarely improves anything. Lots of shovelling poo will eventually lead to wear and tear, however not shovelling poo results in neck deep poo, which is bad. If you suffer from horse related injuries come and see me at the Cambridge Chiropractic Clinic and I’ll give you treatment and advice to get you back in the saddle. The horse poo however, is all yours. NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE • BACK PAIN • SPORTS INJURIES • NECK PAIN • STIFF SHOULDERS • HEADACHES • LACK OF SLEEP B.Sc. M.
