Animal chiropractic focuses on correcting restrictions, or joints that aren’t moving properly, within the spinal column and extremities. These restrictions can cause issues such as gait dysfunction, pain, and behavioral changes in your pet. When a restriction is found, it is corrected through a gentle and specific manipulation. By restoring proper motion to these joints, the nervous system can function at its full potential.

Many factors go into creating a treatment plan specific to your pet. They include age, weight, the amount of time the issue has been going on before seeking care, diet, chiropractic findings during the first examination, and other diagnoses they may have. The ultimate goal is to get your pet on a maintenance plan that fits their lifestyle and needs.

Clients seek our care for a wide range of patient needs. Some of the most frequently encountered issues include hind-end weakness, limping, neck or back pain, seizures, pain management, suspected disc injury, TMJ dysfunction, urinary incontinence, performance for sporting animals, as well as wellness care.

After their adjustment, your pet may experience some soreness, particularly if it is their first one. We advise against high-intensity exercise for 24-48 hours following the adjustment. Additionally, it's normal for your pet to feel sleepy after their session. It's important to allow them to rest, as the body undergoes the most healing during this time. A few days after the appointment, your pet should be feeling great!
