Russell Equine Veterinary Service
Russell Equine is proud to offer Certified Equine Chiropractic to our list of services thanks to Dr. Jenn Hodge. The availability of chiropractics as an adjunct to traditional veterinary medicine has resulted in a greater ability to detect and treat gait abnormalities, pain, and lameness.
