Chiropractic

Chiropractic care focuses on abnormal movements of the spine and extremities, and the effects these restrictions have on the nervous system and the entire body. Chiropractic treatment involves specific, high speed, low force movements. Bone, joint and soft tissue realignment is made via quick, short thrusts along the joint plane.  

Chiropractic Care can:

• Maximize mobility and optimize nervous system function
• Improve quality of life and reduce pain for a geriatric pet
• Allow an animal to become more active and pain free
• Ensure proper development in puppies and kittens     

Your pet may benefit from Chiropractic Care if they:

• Exhibit abnormal posture, such as lowered head carriage
• Are reluctant to move, climb stairs, or jump
• Exhibit signs of pain when being lifted or with certain movements, undefined lameness

​
​Your horse may benefit from Chiropractic Care if they:

• Exhibit undefined lameness/lack of performance
• Are reluctant under saddle
• Exhibit soreness or stiffness as well as abnormal or aggressive behavior​

Acupuncture

Acupuncture aids the body in healing itself. It can increase blood circulation, stimulate nerves, and release muscle spasms. It works by stimulating nerve endings near acupuncture points. These nerve fibers then conduct impulses to the brain and spinal cord, causing changes in the body that speed healing. 

Acupuncture involves the insertion of a small gauge needles to various points on the body in order to cause physiological responses in the body. It can be especially useful in relieving pain. Acupuncture is used in China as a part of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine.
