Chiropractic is a philosophy, science and art. Animal chiropractic can be used as part of an integrative wellness program to maintain an animal’s health, as healthy animals are also candidates for receiving chiropractic care. Maintaining proper movement allows for optimal function of muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments, which leads to improved mobility, flexibility, endurance, performance, and decreased risk of injury. In addition, due to chiropractic’s effect on the nervous system, dysfunction often leads to issues such as pain, stiffness, delayed healing, poor digestion, sleep disturbance and behavioral changes.
