Chiropractic and osteopathy as handling techniques of alternative medicine in horses
Pusztaiová, Gabriela ; Karlasová, Barbora (advisor) ; Rozinek, Jiří (referee)
This thesis discusses branches of alternative medicine, chiropractic and osteopathy in horses in particular. It is a method called manual therapy. They fall under the alternative medicine because they have not been recognized as legitimate medical procedures yet, despite the fact that extensive medical studies proving their healing effect on a living organism have been conducted abroad especially. The first part of my work deals mainly with the anatomy and physiology of the horse. Above all it describes their entire musculoskeletal system. It lists the most frequent pointers for the application of these manual techniques to a particular problem. The second part focuses on the explanation of the effects of these methods on different areas in terms of the topography of a horse. Finally, I mention contra-indications, during which the art of chiropractic or osteopathy should not be performed on a sick animal.
