About us
Veterinary chiropractic also known as animal chiropractic, is an emerging subspecialization for Doctors of Veterinary Medicine (DVMs) and Doctors of Chiropractic(DCs) only, to provide integrative healthcare.
Veterinary Chiropractic is not an Alternative Treatment it is an Integrative Care.
Veterinary Chiropractic is not meant to replace conventional Veterinary Care.
Integrative Care means best results if used in conjunction with good conventional Veterinary Care.
As always, also here applies: Balance is the key to success and finding the root of the problem.
Why does Veterinary Chiropractic work, what is it?
The nervous system controls everything.
The main command centers of the nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord. The essential spinal cord is being protected by vertebrae and associated with complex, major structures like f.eg. nerves (leading to all structures in the body), muscles, ligaments etc.
The doctor first finds areas of restrictive movement f.eg. of the vertebrae of the spine. Such restrictive movement usually has quite an impact on the associated nerves and muscles and can cause serious neurological interference leading to :
- fixed vertebra, muscles and ligaments leading to inflammation and nerve impingement and tissue damage loss of function
Remember that nerves innervate various structures in the body not only muscles also organs.
So easy symptoms of those spinal fixations of your animal could be:
- pain, sensitivity to touch, spasm, lameness, gait abnormalities etc.
And of course there are plenty of more symptoms much more difficult to differentiate especially when the organs start to malfunction due to subluxations of the vertebrae and consequently neurological interferences.
How does the Chiropractor treat those subluxations?
Chiropractic treatment approaches the nervous system via so called adjustments of the subluxations (immobilities) in the spine or extremities- the doctors use their hands and a precise thrust and angles on the immobile ... show more anatomical structures.
Veterinary Chiropractic explores on the root cause of your animal’s problem and
is an effective and valuable way of treating your animal -restoring ,maintaining and improving strength & health and top performance.
