From the online news, TheReporter.com
of Vacaville California, comes a story of a chiropractor
caring for a quarter horse named Barbie, (seen right

story is told, a couple of years ago, Antionette Staniewicz
noticed her blonde-haired quarter horse didn't saunter
as vivaciously as she once did.
The story reported that Staniewicz had tried a veterinarian
to no avail when she decided to call Dr. Troy Stevens.
Dr. Stevens is a chiropractor who had completed a 200-hour
course and is now certified by the American Veterinary
Chiropractic Association. Dr. Stevens is one of the
few chiropractors who is certified in California to
care for misaligned spines of animals as well as humans.
Dr. Stevens, whose animal patients are primarily horses,
dogs and cats, notes, "The philosophy and principles
in animal and human chiropractic is the same, except
we're vertical and they're horizontal."
While standing on a Styrofoam block, Dr. Stevens noted
that his care often helped horses with symptoms such
as lameness, shortened strides and general lethargy.
The story noted that his ability to help animals with
these conditions often baffles veterinarians.
Dr. Stevens noted that many times the results with animals
are better than with humans. He stated, "You get
faster results with equines and dogs (than with humans)
because they don't have all the stress between their
ears."
