Animal Chiropractic

F.A.Q's

Chiropractic is part of an integrated, holistic approach to health. It is a natural way to optimize health and biomechanical function of the spine. Chiropractic care works to improve the relationship of the spinal column and the nerves that come from it, which control function and movement of the entire body. Chiropractic adjustments allow your body to function better, which helps you to heal faster, resist infection, and recover more quickly when injury or illness happens.

Animal chiropractic is a natural way to optimize health and biomechanical function. It works to improve the relationship of the spinal column and the nerves that come from it, which control function and movement of the body. Chiropractic adjustments assist animals and humans alike in preventing illness and improving performance. Animals are like elite athletes, especially dogs and horses. Working and agility dogs, as well as ranch and performance horses, have a tremendous amount of stress on their bodies, meaning that every animal can benefit from chiropractic care.

Like humans, animals can experience pain and decreased function due to spinal misalignment (subluxation). When the bones of the spine are moving improperly, it can affect the nerves that control muscles, organs, joints, blood flow, skin and glands. As a result, animals may experience symptoms such as:
  • Arthritis
  • Lameness
  • Gait alterations
  • Trouble getting up and down
  • Behavior changes
  • Hair color or pattern changes
  • Seizures or neurological problems
  • Head shyness
  • Excessive licking, chewing, or biting
  • Chronic health problems
  • Pulling in one direction
  • Digestive issues
  • Reluctance to pick up a lead
  • Signs of navicular disease or laminitis
