What is a Spinal Adjustment (Animal Chiropractic)?
Spinal adjustment or manipulation is a practice similar to chiropractic adjustments for humans.
Pets who experience pain with movement or have limited mobility can benefit from this form of physiotherapy as it promotes healing without using chemicals or drugs.
Restoring joint movement and nerve function will ultimately reduce pain while improving the range of motion, soft tissue function, and overall quality of life.

What To Expect from Animal Chiropractor
Our vets will perform a preliminary evaluation of your pet to determine their current health and specific needs.
This examination will assess the joints, muscles, spine, nervous system, gait, posture, and the alignment of the vertebra to determine the range of motion and level of function.
The spinal adjustment will begin with small but precise pressure in the direction of joint motion, helping to restore normal motion and improve joint movement.
We aim to restore a pet's health quickly and efficiently. The number of treatments that your pet requires to achieve that goal will vary depending on your companion's current condition and needs.
