What is Animal Chiropractic?
Chiropractic for animals is a well established specialist form of chiropractic. Any animal can be treated but the most common animals presented are horses and dogs. It is a rapidly growing profession as more and more animal owners discover the amazing benefits of this effective treatment which helps the body to restore itself to proper health without the use of drugs or surgery.
Every day most animals are exposed to situations that have the potential to cause problems with their spine and musculoskeletal system. These include:
- trauma
- transport
- demands of their work
- conformation
- saddle
- rider issues (e.g. crooked or novice rider)
- lack of space
- age
- pre-existing medical conditions (e.g. navicular)
Some animals have more ‘risk factors’ present in their life than others and are therefore likely to benefit from more regular treatment.
