Chiropractic for your pet is an incredible wellness tool. Just like with humans, animals can receive the same benefits of chiropractic care. Whether your dog is a professional athlete, working dog, or adored family pet, a chiropractic adjustment can keep them mobile, healthy, and comfortable as they age. Used as a preventative treatment, the chiropractic can keep them from developing common issues like disc injuries, arthritis, knee pain and more. If your animal has already experienced an injury, then chiropractic can help them recover faster and more comfortably. 

Without the use of drugs or surgery, animal chiropractic works on the musculoskeletal and nervous system. It’s focus is on the biomechanics and movement of all joints in the spine and extremities. Veterinary Chiropractic treatment does not replace traditional veterinary medicine; however, it can provide additional means of diagnosis and treatment options for spinal problems as well as biomechanical related musculoskeletal disorders. Veterinary Chiropractic can often eliminate the source of acute or chronic pain syndromes.

Here are some signs that your animal can benefit from a chiropractic exam and adjustment:

• Getting up slower
• Decreased appetite
• Visible limp
• Less energy
• More aggression
• Not jumping like they used to
• More grumpy/snarling
• Weakness in the limbs
• Holding head differently

The benefits of chiropractic are vast and include:

• More mobility
• Less muscle tension

• Increased performance
• Longevity
