What is Veterinary Chiropractic?
Veterinary chiropractic, also known as animal chiropractic, is an evidence-based practice that combines the principles of chiropractic care with veterinary knowledge. This treatment is performed by veterinarians or certified animal chiropractors who have undergone specialized training. During a chiropractic session, gentle adjustments are made to the animal's spine and joints to enhance mobility and reduce discomfort.

How Does Animal Chiropractic Work?
During a chiropractic session, the chiropractor will perform a thorough physical examination to identify areas of misalignment and dysfunction. Adjustments are made using controlled, precise movements to realign the spine and joints. These adjustments help to:
- Improve nervous system function
- Enhance joint mobility
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Promote natural healing
Most pets tolerate chiropractic adjustments very well and experience immediate relief. Sessions are typically short, and many pets find them relaxing and comfortable.
