What is Animal Chiropractic Care?
- Animal Chiropractic care compliments and does not replace traditional veterinary medicine, working together will offer a comprehensive approach to your animal’s health and well-being.
- Animal chiropractic care is a non-invasive treatment that provides precise manual animal chiropractic adjustments to correct biomechanical issues specific to the animal spine.
- These specific, high velocity, low-force adjustments directly impact the nervous system, by reducing interference and enhancing overall function.
IVCA Certified Animal Chiropractic Practitioners are trained to identify and correct vertebral misalignments called the vertebral subluxation complex through specific manual animal chiropractic adjustments:
- Nerve function is enhanced, allowing more effective communication between the nervous system and the rest of the body.
- The animal chiropractic adjustment supports the animal’s innate healing ability allowing the body to regulate itself more effectively.
- Resulting in improved well-being, boosted immunity, and improved recovery, promoting optimal health and performance in your animal.
What is a Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC)?
- A misalignment or abnormal positioning of a vertebrae within the spinal column.
- If VSC is left uncorrected, it can disrupt the musculoskeletal system, connective tissue, and nervous system, compromising the body’s ability to function optimally.
- Reducing the VSC will support the animal’s innate healing ability, promoting optimal health and performance.
A VSC can lead to:
- Pain or mobility issues
- Reduced performance
- Reluctance to certain movements, climb stairs, or jump
- Discomfort when lifted
- Undefined lameness or gait changes
- Increased sensitivity to touch
- Lick granulomas on legs or paws
- Recurrent ear or anal gland infections
- Altered sitting posture or preference for one side
- Digestive or urinary issues
Common Causes of VSC:
- Trauma or falls
- Delayed post-operative rehabilitation
- Anesthesia or medication-related issues
- Prolonged crating
- Difficult births
- Lack of exercise

Treatment by IVCA-Certified Practitioners:
Your IVCA-certified animal practitioner will comprehensively examine the spine and nervous system. Precise manual animal chiropractic adjustments will be applied to specific vertebrae, aligning the spine without harming surrounding tissues.
Treatment frequency and duration depend on the condition’s severity. Many animals show improvement after a few sessions, but chronic issues may require more rigorous plans. Regular animal chiropractic checkups are recommended for early detection of spinal issues to maintain long-term health.
