hiropractic care for animals is one of the fastest growing and
most valuable occupations available in animal healthcare
today. Veterinary chiropractic, also known as animal
chiropractic, is the practice of spinal manipulation or manual
therapy for animals. Animal chiropractors specialize in treating the
neurological and musculoskeletal systems of animals by performing
adjustments to their joints and vertebrae to alleviate pain, restore
balance, and improve performance. Patients may include pets, zoo
animals, livestock, and race horses. Animal chiropractic has become a
quickly developing field in animal alternative medicine. By working in
conjunction with veterinarians, animal chiropractors aid in restoring
your pet’s optimal health by treating the whole patient. Animal
Chiropractic is “NOT” intended to assume the primary health care
responsibility of animals or replace veterinary medicine.
Today, more people recognize that loving and caring for their pets
extends beyond providing food and shelter. Quality pet healthcare is no
longer limited to spaying and immunizations. With the emerging field
of Animal Chiropractic, people are appreciating new ways for their pets
to achieve and maintain optimal health. Animal Chiropractic offers
non-surgical, drug-free options for correcting bone, disc, and soft-tissue
disorders related to improper spinal configuration and movement.
Animal Chiropractic has been beneficial for performance animals,
injured animals, athletes, show animals, and family pets. Whether
to enhance performance, address injury or illness or simply for
preventative care, Animal Chiropractic can make a positive difference in
your animal’s life.
