My dog/horse doesn’t present with any major symptoms, would chiropractic care still be beneficial?
Yes. Just like for people chiropractic care is not just for treating pain, it’s also key for injury prevention and overall wellness. Regular adjustments maintain proper spine alignment and optimal nervous system function, crucial for the body’s self-healing and peak performance. This is vital for active individuals and animals to prevent injuries and detect subtle changes in their musculoskeletal system early on. So, chiropractic care is about maintaining health and preventing potential issues, benefiting both people and animals.
What kind of animals do you work on?
I primarily work with dogs and horses. However, chiropractic care can be beneficial for any animal with a spine. This includes a wide range of animals from cats to cows, rabbits to reptiles. The principles of chiropractic care apply across species, helping to improve mobility, alleviate discomfort, and enhance overall well-being. So, if it has a spine, I can provide chiropractic care for it.
