Learn how a certified doctor of the AVCA can benefit your animals's health

Doctors of Chiropractic and Veterinary Medicine working together to expand and promote the knowledge and advancement of Animal Chiropractic Care.

Animal chiropractic involves adjustment of subluxations of the spinal column, extremity joints and skull bone junctions called cranial sutures.

Animal chiropractic care involves management advice as to what is needed to insure proper response to chiropractic care, including rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise.

Animal chiropractic evaluation includes obtaining a case history consisting of information from prior veterinary radiographs or laboratory analysis, and information involving previous diagnoses and therapies.

Animal chiropractic practice necessitates an examination of the animal patient prior to the adjustment. This examination includes: Posture analysis, gait analysis, vertebral and extremity static palpation, short leg analysis, radiographic examination, orthopedic evaluation and neurological evaluation.

Information from the cases history and the examination are combined to determine the chiropractic adjustments the animal may require. A chiropractic adjustment is defined as a short lever, high velocity controlled thrust by hand or instrument that is directed at specific articulations to correct vertebral subluxations.

A vertebral subluxation is defined as a spinal misalignment or joint dysfunction resulting in neurological or biomechanical dysfunction.

Animal chiropractic does not dispense medications, perform surgery, inject medications or attempt to replace necessary traditional veterinary care.

Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to pet health care. It deals with the nervous system housed inside the spinal column and with keeping the nervous system healthy for the benefit of all body systems including the musculoskeletal system.
