What is animal chiropractic treatment?

It is essential that the owner of the animal has sought veterinary approval for chiropractic treatment to be undertaken.

The animal will be fully assessed from a musculoskeletal perspective and joint dysfunctions identified. Chiropractic treatment involves the correction of these dysfunctions using skilled manipulation. The number of adjustments required will vary between animals, depending on the condition and how long the condition has been present, with chronic spinal problems taking longer to respond. Horses that are basically sound are likely to respond quickly to adjustments.
