Equine chiropractor Dr. Callie Garlick helps horses feel and perform their best.

Taking care of our equine friends is no small feat, and equestrians often rely on an extensive team of equine professionals to help ensure their mounts are in tip-top shape. Just like people, horses often need care from a chiropractor that can provide relief for their aches and pains. Are you passionate about helping horses feel their best? This may be the career for you!
Callie Garlick, D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic and Animal Chiropractic) is a chiropractor in Buena Vista, Colo., who specializes in treating humans, dogs, and equines. From the time she was a young girl, Dr. Callie loved horses. She got her start in riding through summer horse camps and trail rides in western Pennsylvania. She went on to ride on an Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) equitation team and received a solid foundation in hunt seat riding. Dr. Callie knew she always wanted horses to be a part of her life.
After deciding to pursue a career in chiropractic care, she attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa and completed an additional 240 hours learning about animal chiropractic through the Animal Chiropractic Education Source (ACES) in Texas.
Dr. Callie is a board-certified animal chiropractor through the Animal Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA). Her passion for horses has only deepened since becoming an equine chiropractor!
