Animal Chiropractic

Holistic care and pain relief for your pet.

What Is Animal Chiropractic?

Animal chiropractic care uses the same principles as a human chiropractor. It’s the practice of treating neurological and musculoskeletal systems through careful manipulation of your pet’s spine and joints in order to correct misalignments, relieve pain and improve their range of motion. A very safe and beneficial treatment, Chiropractic care in pets can be used as a holistic treatment in conjunction with other traditional medicine such as physical therapy, veterinary surgery, or drugs.

Why Choose Animal Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a drug free and non-invasive treatment for pain relief. It stimulates your pets natural pain-relieving endorphins, reducing or eliminating their need for pain relief drugs. Chiropractic adjustments are used to alleviate repercussions of ailments which include chronic pain, arthritis, lameness, muscle tears and inflammation, nerve issues, back pain, hip dysplasia, and intervertebral disc disease. But, the benefits of chiropractic is more than just pain relief. Chiropractic improves circulation and is shown to improve recovery time after surgery. It also is used to treat issues like incontinence and gastrointestinal issues. Adjustments are also not limited to sick or injured animals. Maintaining good alignment increases agility, endurance, and strength. It also improves the overall function of the nervous system, keeping your animal’s muscular-skeletal and immune systems strong and healthy.
