Why Chiropractic Care
The spine is made up of many different vertebrae and each one has movable joints with its neighbouring vertebra. When a joint of the spine isn't moving as well as it should, that leads to problems. Dysfunctions in spinal joint motion leads to pain, muscle dysfunction and tension and movement dysfunctions such as altered gait. Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore the proper motion of the joints of the spine and body in order to reduce pain, reduce muscle tension and improve mobility.
Adjustments can be used to improve healing after an injury, reduce pain in your older dog/horse/cat and improve overall movement patterns such as their gait. It can also be a wonderful addition to a wellness routine ensuring optimal function of the joints of the spine to prevent future problems and to allow your pets to live their fullest life!
