Chiropractic Treatment

Animal Chiropractic is a field of animal health care that focuses on the preservation and health of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. All animals have spines that are subject to stresses that cause the vertebra (spinal bones) to lose proper motion. If the movement and biomechanics of the vertebra become dysfunctional, they can interfere with the performance of the nerves. The basic premise of chiropractic care is to correct the vertebral motion to decrease pain and to maintain adequate nerve supply that is vital to the proper functioning of the entire body.

The spine involves specific motion units that can become restricted and have a lack of motion throughout an animal's life - anything from a slip, fall or wrong turn can cause these vertebra to become "stuck". The Certified Animal Chiropractor will determine which vertebra are involved by combining the findings of the case history, posture analysis, and static palpation.

Our Certified Animal Chiropractors perform the adjustments to restore motion to the vertebra with their hands. It feels good to have the motion restored and most animals really enjoy being adjusted.
