Animal Chiropractic

Animal Chiropractic is more than aligning bones; it addresses the overall health of your pet. Chiropractic care is a drug free approach used to heal the spine and skeletal system. When the spine is misaligned, it adversely affects nerve function. Reduced, or limited, nerve function can then negatively affect the function of organs and tissues supplied by that nerve. This can lead to a multitude of health issues in your pet. However, the good news is that Chiropractic care can correct the spinal alignment allowing nerves to function properly. Therefore, correct spinal alignment encourages the optimal health of your pet.

Since our animals are unable to communicate verbally with us, we must rely on their body language and behavior changes. Subtle changes in their behavior may indicate a need for Chiropractic care, for example. The following list of signs and symptoms may help you identify if Chiropractic care can help maximize the health and well-being of your four legged friend.
