Question 1

What do we do?

We use a gentle, comprehensive, whole-body approach with the goal of improving movement, comfort, function, and quality of life. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we evaluate the animal as a whole.

Question 2

Are you veterinarians?

Yes. Our doctors are state-licensed chiropractors with additional education and certification in the specific technique we use when working with animals.

Question 4

Do you do typical chiropractic adjustments?

Accepted Answer

No. Our approach is gentle and comprehensive, utilizing precise instrumental stimulation at specific points to identify and help reduce stress, tension, and imbalance throughout the body.

Question 5

Why this approach?

Accepted Answer

Every animal is different. This approach allows us to be thorough and specific while remaining gentle, giving us the ability to work with the entire body and adapt the technique to each animal’s individual needs.

Question 6

What happens during a visit?

Accepted Answer

We evaluate the animal from head to tail, checking for areas of stress, tension, and imbalance. When found, those specific points are gently stimulated. The process is comfortable and controlled, allowing us to adapt the work to each individual animal.

Question 7

Does it hurt?

The technique is gentle and does not involve jerking, twisting, or yanking on the body. As with many types of therapies, there can occasionally be a healing reaction, much like feeling a little sore after massage or exercise. This typically passes quickly.

What animals can you work with?

The same basic principles apply across many species. No animal is too big or small.

We see a wide range, from animals receiving preventive and wellness care to those dealing with chronic or more significant problems. At every stage, our goal is to support comfort, movement, function, and quality of life.

Question 10

How often will my animal need to be seen?

Accepted Answer
