I have experience with dogs, cats and horses. Some common diseases or problems that chiropractic adjustments are able to help are:

Back pain
Decreased ability to exercise due to pain
Decreased ability to jump

Back pain
Fear or aggression due to pain
    symptoms include skin twitching over the back, doesn’t allow back to be touched,     decreased ability to jump or play

Lack of collection
Inability to take a lead or hold it
Twitches when brushed
Painful or cranky when saddled

These are just a few of the signs and symptoms that chiropractic manipulation can affect.

Veterinary chiropractic is the art of keeping the joints of the spine and limbs moving with their proper orientation.  I work on one vertebrae at a time, which is how I am able to perform chiropractic manipulations on an animal as large as a horse.

Many animals after an injury to their legs can benefit from a chiropractic adjustment.  Think about when you have injured an ankle or knee.  You limp, this puts extra stress on the other leg, then your back starts to hurt due to unequal leg movement.  Chiropractic adjustments help the vertebrae to move again when “stuck” or to move in the proper direction.  This is helpful after the limping has stopped or with chronic lameness due to decreasing the secondary back pain.

I am certified by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association, to visit their website go to www.ivca.de/eng.  I studied with Options for Animals in 2007, participating in their 210 hour course.  To learn more about my training, please visit www.animalchiro.com.  To remain certified, I go to continuing education courses on a yearly basis.
