Dr. Mitch Lowrey utilizes his years of experience, in conjunction with both traditional and nontraditional diagnosis and treatment modalities, to prevent and treat lameness and soundness issues in performance horses, as well as assist owners in the overall care and well-being of their equine athletes. Unlike most general practitioners, who often times don't have the time, education or experience t
o successfully treat lameness issue or gait abnormalities, Dr. Mitch has limited the focus of the practice so he is able to dedicate ample time to each horse under his care, rather than offer simple quick fixes. Dr. Mitch also strongly believes in continuing education, and is dedicated to staying current in the newest technologies and latest developments in the fields of sports medicine and chiropractic care. Going far above the required hours necessary to maintain the veterinary licenses he holds in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida, Dr. Mitch attends meetings and conferences specifically focused on sport and performance horse medicine on nearly a monthly basis. He is not only certified in Animal Chiropractic, attending one of the only three accredited schools in the US, but is also certified in Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians, attending advanced courses at the Chi Institute as well as Colorado State University. Equine Sports Medicine & Chiropractic Care is primarily an ambulatory practice, but we do offer appointments at our farm in Estill, SC for those clients wishing to haul in for services. We are also able to accommodate layover needs for clients coming in from out of state. In addition to veterinary and chiropractic services, our farm also serves as a location for horses to retire, recover or rehabilitate. We accept only a limited number of outside horses who's daily needs are met firsthand by Dr. Mitch, alongside our personal horses, in a secure, peaceful, non-clinical setting.
