ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic involves spinal manipulation which works by re-establishing and maintaining the connection between the brain and nervous system. Nerves run throughout the entire body and connect signals from the brain to the rest of the body. There can be an interference to that signal from injury, illness, trauma, age, poor nutrition, or lack of exercise. Over time, this can lead to loss of mobility, stiffness, degeneration of joints, and pain. When normal movement is affected, this affects the animal's quality and duration of life.  

Chiropractic adjustment: A chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is a procedure in which trained specialists (chiropractors) use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal of this procedure is to improve spinal motion and improve your body's physical function.​

Chiropractic subluxation: A vertebral subluxation occurs when one or more vertebrae in the spine become misaligned, compressing spinal nerves and disturbing optimal nerve function. Chiropractic's primary focus involves locating, analyzing and correcting these misalignments. When our bodies are out of alignment, this can lead to bone/ disc degeneration, disc disease, arthritis, uneven muscle tone, slips and fall accidents, inability to sustain one's own weight, decreased mobility, and overall decrease in health.

Chiropractic is ideal for an animal experiencing the following:

• limping

• vertebral disc problems

• slip and fall accidents

• nerve problems

• muscle spasms

• allergies

• ear infections

• behavioral changes

• refusal to eat/ difficulty chewing

• gait irregularities

• coat changes

• maintenance of joint and spinal health
