 And is it chiropractic, massage, or another therapy, or a combination of a few different therapies?  And what region are you in?  No need to mention names, just wondering what you expect to pay per session.  Thanks in advance!  :)

 I use my vet, chiro and or acupuncture, it could be from $20 to $60 depending on how long he has to work on them, he never charges me very much.

250-chiro
100-acupuncture
75-125-massage(depending on needs and the duration of the massage)

this is per horse and they all do it at our farm. These girls are all certified and come with excellent qualifications and reviews. Though I do want to throw up when I get totals for two horses.

ETA: They do not charge me extra for injections, nor do they charge for extra time spent. They could be here for 30 mins, or 3 hours and it doesn't effect the total. The quality of work, and the mindset they come in with is worth the expense.

 I paid $75 for an adjustment and "balancing" but I wasn't really impressed.  I was expecting more acupressure and time spent releasing.  Need to have you out at some point!!  :). (AZ)

$50.00 for chiro. He doesn't charge if they are not out anywhere. I haul to him, but he comes to a place fairly close and several people haul in to see him. Massage I don't do often, but have paid $60 or 65 for, if I remember right.

 The lady that did massages used to charge $60. She was amazing but just doesn't get anywhere near us anymore. Not enough call for it I guess.  It's been years since my horses have had a massage and she used to come every 6 weeks :(

My local vet does chiro and acupuncture. I want to say it's around $80ish for chiro, maybe like $100-120 for both. I really can't remember, it's been a long time since I've had him out. And the last couple times T-Bo didn't need any work anyway. 

I'm in southeast Louisiana. 

I would be interested in having my guys get semi-regular massage sessions again. But I don't really know anyone in the area that does it. 

ETA that te lady who massaged generally spent about an hour on each horse.

 $135/horse here in Texas.  I have a vet come out and he also does a B12 shot.  It's expensive, to me, but he does a great job and is really kind to all the horses.

 Also, back in WA I would spend $125 for acupressure/Masterson Method stuff along with a Chiro adjustment and I felt it was worth the money because he spent a good hour/hour and a half working on the horse.

Good point hammer_time- I should have also asked how long these bodywork sessions ususally last, and how frequently they get them.  I feel that someone who spends an hour and a half going through the whole horse, (especially the first time through) is worth more than the ones who line them up and spend 20 minutes max on each horse.  Also, if the whole horse is addressed, there is more chance of the treatment holding for a longer period than that with the 20 minute session.  But how much more is it worth it I guess is the million dollar question...
