What Is Animal Chiropractic Care?
Animal chiropractic care is a holistic, hands-on therapy that involves the manual adjustment of the spine and joints to address problems within the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Also known as veterinary spinal manipulation therapy, it focuses on correcting vertebral subluxations (misalignments) that may interfere with normal movement, nerve function, or blood flow.
While most commonly used for dogs, cats, and horses, chiropractic techniques can benefit any vertebrate animal experiencing pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility.

How Veterinary Chiropractic Works
🩺 Step 1: Assessment
A licensed veterinarian or certified animal chiropractor performs a full evaluation of your pet’s spinal alignment, gait, range of motion, and neurological health.
👐 Step 2: Gentle Adjustments
Using precise, controlled hand movements, the practitioner makes manual spinal or joint adjustments to correct misalignments, release tension, and promote proper movement.
💪 Step 3: Healing and Optimization
Once alignment is restored, your pet may experience better nerve signaling, reduced inflammation, enhanced circulation, and faster healing—leading to a happier, more mobile companion.

Yes—when performed by a trained and certified veterinary chiropractor, chiropractic care is generally very safe and well-tolerated. At Ross Animal Hospital, our team follows the highest standards of care, using techniques backed by training programs like Options for Animals and certifications through accredited veterinary chiropractic institutions.
