How do I know if my pet needs Chiropractic Care?

Loss or decrease in level of performance.
Problems or difficulty executing daily movements.
Behavioral changes.
Diagnosed conditions, such as degenerative arthritis, muscle imbalance, spasms, or atrophy.
Walking delicately, refusal to go on leash.

My mission is to increase the health and well-being of you and your pets by addressing both of your musculo-skeletal systems, eliminating areas of myofascial imbalance and dysfunction, improving overall health and performance.

Benefits and Results of Chiropractic Care for Your Pet:

The first signs of subluxations are decreased range of motion in either the neck, back or in the pelvic anatomy and/or hips of your animal. Such change may be subtle or overt. These areas represent areas of myofascial inflammation or scarring that eventually affect the anatomy of the joints where these musculoskeletal structures are attached.

THESE BIOMECHANICAL AREAS OF INFLAMMATION ARE PAINFUL TO YOUR PET, AND THEY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED WITH MECHANICAL CHIROPRACTIC THERAPY.
The benefit from chiropractic type therapy is that it will improve the disposition of your animal both, physically and spiritually. The natural life force that is conducted through the nervous system will flow with less resistance and/or interruption. The level of immune resistance will be enhanced.

Veterinary Orthopedic Manipultion

Veterinary Orthopedic Manipultion, or VOM, exists in between veterinary medicine and chiropractic care. It has similarities to some of the chiropractic modalities and functions by restoring function by reducing "subluxations" as is done in chiropractic care. It uses a hand-held device that is used in a popular human chiropractic technique called "Activator Methods" but it is not to be confused with that technique.

Chiropractors use this technique on your animals with permission of your veterinarian.

VOM treatment will not hurt your furry friend. In fact most animals thoroughly enjoy it. It is quite common for your pet to become relaxed as the treatment progresses. The VOM for your animal and chiropractic adjustment for you consists of a short, corrective thrusts to a specific area which releases muscle spasm, restores joint mobility, and alleviates pain. This allows the body to be restored to natural balance and harmony.
