I believe all animals deserve to achieve optimal wellness with regular chiropractic care.

​

What is Chiropractic?

• A drug free approach to health 

• Detects and corrects subluxations (spinal misalignment or joint dysfunction)

• Works with the animal's Innate Intelligence (inborn ability of the body to heal itself)

​​

How We Detect Subluxations?

• A thorough chiropractic exam that includes:

       Case history​ 

       Static and motion palpation​

       Range of motion evaluation

       Leg length analysis

       Gait and posture analysis

       Neurologic examination

• The results from these exams help me to determine an individualized care plan for your animal's specific needs.

​

How We Treat Subluxations: 

• By hand with a high velocity, low amplitude adjustment

​

Indicators of a Subluxation:

• Muscle spasms

• Muscle atrophy

• Generalized pain and discomfort

• Decrease in motion at a joint

• Non awareness of a limb 

• Injuries from slips, falls, accidents and sports/competition

​

Conditions that Chiropractic May Help:

• Hip Dysplasia

• Arthritis

• Locking stifles

• Degenerative Joint Disease

• Hot spots
