Derman Equine Chiropractic
Ray E. Derman, D.C., C.V.C.P.

As a professional on the USEF circuit and a good friend, Dr. Ray Derman has impressed me from day one. Not only does he have an open mind, he also has an active mind. Every horse in my barn is treated in a individual manner, I've dealt with other equine chiropractor's that just seem to work out of a book and work on each horse the same way. Dr.Ray has a sort of intuition in which he can quickly figure out what is going on and come up with a game plan for me and my clients. I never have a problem with scheduling and have never had a complaint from anyone in my barn. The horses are so happy to see him when he comes to the barn and you can tell in the show ring that they are thoroughly enjoying and benefiting from his treatments! I have and continue to highly recommend Dr. Ray to any of my clients and friends. Thank you so much for all you have done and continue doing at our barn.

"I've trained and competed champion dressage horses for 25 years. During this time, I've had many Chiropractors adjust my horses. Never have I felt such positive results from chiropractic as Dr. Derman's techniques. Now my horses are relaxed, loose, through and winning!"

"I have been having my horse adjusted by Dr. Derman for nearly three years and I must say she has never been better. I have used equine chiropractic treatments before with little or no results. So, when Dr. Derman came to our farm, I was skeptical. Unfortunately, my horse was very sore in her back and being a cribber, especially tight in her poll. Not a good state of affairs for a dressage horse in the middle of show season. Luckily, I took another chance on chiropractic care. Not only did he greatly improve my horse, after seeing (and feeling) the results in her, I decided to go to the chiropractor myself (something I had also had a bad experience with).

Thanks to Dr. Ray, my horse and I are both "well adjusted." With regular adjustments, my horse, now at 17 years old, is better than ever. She is on less supplements and she has never moved better.

As a professional trainer, I highly recommend all my clients have their horses adjusted by Dr. Ray. Not only has he helped my own horse, but many others in our barn. Some have tried other chiropractors, but they always come back to Dr. Ray Derman"

"Dr. Ray Derman has been working with my 29 year old Appaloosa for a year now. My horse because of age has suffered from stiffness and arthritis. Since Dr. Ray has been working with her she has improved dramatically. She responded so well to his treatment that she has gained back flexibility in her neck, along her spine and hind quarters. This has consequently made her more comfortable and shows in the way that she is now moving"

"…I have been a close friend of Dr. Ray Derman, as well as his own client for myself for many years. I have found him to be an outstanding and gifted chiropractor, who also has a very sensitive and caring bedside manner. It was because of his passion for companion animals and horses, that I encouraged him to use his gift for the benefit of the animals. I have worked with Dr. Derman closely over the past several years on many of my dog and cat cases, whom would not have done so well if it were not for his gifted hands. I encouraged him to study more of veterinary chiropractic by first taking Bill Inman's course using the activator (VOM), and then studying with colleagues around the country skilled in equine chiropractic…"

"Sometime in October of 2005 I noticed an unusual sweat pattern that had developed along my 8-year-old gelding Mesquite's shoulder. The chiropractor that initially saw Mesquite believed that the sweating was the result of a poorly fit saddle. Some chiropractic adjustments were made at that time, but the area continued to be wet with sweat despite Mesquite having a good bit of time off due to the winter weather.

I telephoned a personal friend who happens to be a Veterinarian/Chiropractor, but lives out of state. He recommended Dr. Ray Derman, whom he had met at a Seminar in Texas for animal chiropractic work. He had referred Dr. Derman to several clients in the past and had positive results. Dr. Derman came to our farm towards the end of April.

Upon the exam Dr. Derman found his wither area to be out of line and explained to me what he was doing to try and remedy Mesquite's problems. Through the manipulation that Derman did I immediately saw a positive response from Mesquite's body language. Approximately one week after Dr. Derman's second visit the shoulder sweat stopped. To this day Mesquite is doing great. I will probably never know the reason for the injury but I do know that Dr. Derman's expertise was the reason Mesquite has healed."

"My Three Day Eventer, Worthy, was constantly stiff and sore in his shoulders. I tried supplements, medicines, massage, rest, nothing seemed to help. Dr. Ray adjusted him, and within four days I saw a noticeable difference. Worthy has had two additional adjustments, and he now is better than ever. Thanks Dr. Ray!"

Samantha Walash, Three Day Eventer

"You worked on my sons horse, Renegade at North Star Riding Stables in Adams last month. I wanted to thank you again and let you know they ran their first barrel race last night since you worked on Renegade and he ran the best times ever. He got Champion and my son could not believe the difference in him. You definitely made a difference in his horse, he obviously is feeling much better.

We would like to know when you will be back in the area so we can have both of the horses done. We look forward to seeing you again."
