Veterinary Chiropractic Care

Veterinary chiropractic care uses gentle, controlled manipulations of joints, known as adjustments, to restore joint function and support the nervous system. These adjustments help the body reach its maximum potential and often provide relief without the need for drug therapy. By restoring normal joint motion, chiropractic care can significantly improve your pet’s comfort and mobility

What to Expect During Treatment

Following a chiropractic adjustment, some pets may appear sleepy and need to rest. This is a normal response as the body begins to repair itself. It’s common to observe:
Initial improvement, followed by a brief relapse as the body “relearns” proper joint alignment.
Increased mobility, reduced pain, greater alertness, and an improved gait.
Post-Adjustment Care:
Take your pet for a short, easy walk the evening after their first adjustment to help the body adapt.
Chiropractic care is cumulative—each session builds upon the last. Consistent, timely follow-up appointments are crucial for maximizing the benefits.
