Developing Stronger Individuals, Mentally and Physically

Should my pet be adjusted too?

Animal chiropractic is a specialized field that focuses on improving the musculoskeletal health of animals, particularly their spines. Just like humans, animals can experience misalignments and imbalances in their skeletal system that can cause pain, discomfort, and restricted movement. Animal chiropractors use manual adjustments and manipulations to correct these issues and restore proper alignment to the spine and joints. By doing so, they help alleviate pain, improve range of motion, enhance athletic performance, and promote overall wellness in animals. Animal chiropractic is often sought after for both preventive and therapeutic purposes, as it can be beneficial for animals of all ages and breeds. It is a holistic approach to animal healthcare that complements traditional veterinary treatments and promotes optimal physical well-being for our furry companions.

To x-ray or not?

We always x-ray anyone over the age of 12 (who is not pregnant or expecting) as a starting basis for analysis and to rule in/ out any possible congenital abnormalities and/or incidental findings. Many times adults have an anterior spondylolisthesis, which changes the manner in which one would be chiropractically adjusted by hand or by instrument. It is always prudent to visualize the anatomy before attempting to make a correction. We have digital x-ray on site and read them instantly; therefore, there is no need to wait for your first adjustment.
