I would do one of these in Oklahoma in a heartbeat, but it is against the Oklahoma veterinary laws for me to teach
(not just practice
), but to teach animal chiropractic techniques in Oklahoma.
The equine chiropractic techniques I teach in my book and seminars are exactly the same techniques used by most certified animal chiropractors
(both DVMs and DCs
) worldwide. I have never been able to get a straight answer from Oklahoma's veterinary board on why they do not allow me to teach these techniques in their state. I understand you have to be an Oklahoma state licensed chiropractor or veterinarian to practice animal chiropractic-- that they allow,and that I understand. But not allowing me to teach these techniques within their borders, and threatening me if I do? Their motive
(s
) are anyone's guess.
Now that I'm semi-retired and rarely do weekend hands-on clinics
(about one per year
), I thought it would be nice to do a little more domestic traveling and stop by at a few events to demonstrate a number of these professional techniques for a couple of hours before or after an event--at no cost to the attendees or show coordinator. I would do it on my own dime. Most barrel racers find these techniques extremely valuable and really help their horse achieve peak performance. Chiropractic techniques are designed to help restore and improve joint and muscle mobility and function. In many cases this can be accomplished with the right adjustment or combination of adjustments.
Today I would like to give away one horse and dog chiropractic technique DVD set to the first person to respond, either here, PM, or email me with your name and address. No cost to you for anything. And I'm only giving away one set. After I send it, which would be later today, I'll post that someone already got it. And yes, I'll send this to an Oklahoma resident if one responds first!
