Chiropractic care is a natural and non-invasive treatment for humans and animals. Unlike prescription drugs, chiropractic care has no side effects. Your pet may feel soreness after a chiropractic adjustment, but it is temporary and usually lasts two days. Another possible consequence of chiropractic adjustments is a vocal reaction. Of course, you should find a dog chiropractor with the proper credentials to know the treatment’s effectiveness and safety.

To start working with animals, a chiropractor must undergo specific training in chiropractic theories and animal anatomy. Qualified specialists know how animals’ neuromusculoskeletal functions and biomechanics differ from those of humans. Training in animal chiropractic allows doctors to treat various conditions in dogs, cats, and horses, including but not limited to hip dysplasia, intervertebral disk disease, osteoarthritis, and more.
In the United States, animal chiropractors must obtain either the International or American Veterinary Chiropractic Association certification.
Depending on a level of training, a doctor can be:

When a segment in the spine isn’t moving properly this puts stress on the segments above and below the restriction. Their bodies, just like ours, need the correct biomechanics in order to move properly.

Senior dogs often have a range of health issues — hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease, arthritis, and osteoarthritis, to name a few.
Working dogs and animal athletes (like dogs used in racing or agility training) experience significant physical stress and are often prone to injury. Seeing an animal chiropractor regularly is good for maintaining maximum flexibility and optimal health in such pets and reducing the risk of injuries.
An animal chiropractor will restore the proper alignment in your pet’s musculoskeletal system through adjustments performed with the appropriate force. Fixing spinal misalignments or subluxations helps improve the range of motion, reduce inflammation and nerve irritation, and ease the pain.

Often, pet chiropractic treatment complements other types of traditional and alternative therapies. In particular, a combination of acupuncture and chiropractic can have an excellent treatment effect on your pet. A qualified animal chiropractor knows how different forms of treatment interact with each other and will recommend additional medical treatments if needed.
If you and your pet are seeing different specialists at the same time, be sure to inform all of them about the ongoing treatment. As a result, you will ensure coordinated care from all sides and prevent undesirable interactions or interference.

During your first visit to an animal chiropractor, a doctor will perform an initial chiropractic examination to evaluate your animal's overall spinal health and identify the unwanted conditions. A chiropractor will look at how your pet stands and moves, assess its anatomy and check the spine for misalignments.
After examination, a doctor will perform a chiropractic adjustment using either hands or an activator. After a series of adjustments, your animal's mobility and overall health should improve significantly. As your pet feels better, you may consider the treatment complete. Still, in some cases, it is worth receiving ongoing treatment. An animal chiropractor will also develop a personalized treatment plan with the recommended number of appointments and their frequency.

We want the animals to move after their adjustment so they can engage their brain and nervous system and create new synapses or exercise the current ones. However, we do not want them to be heavily worked for about 24 hours after the adjustment. This gives them the freedom to move how they wish. For a horse, that means to turn them out! Do not put them back in a stall for at least a few hours. For a dog, this means, let them play as they wish and if they are a working or agility dog, give them the day off and return to their normal schedule the following day.

Three things can happen after your pet is adjusted:
All of these responses are expected and normal. It all depends on what the condition is, how long your pet has had it, and how our pet integrates the adjustment. If you have any questions or concerns with your pet's reaction, do not hesitate to call your primary Veterinarian or your Chiropractor.
