Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic Medicine
Chiropractic is a manual therapy that treats dysfunction of the spine and influences the function of the spinal cord and nervous system. A chiropractic exam can consist of a posture assessment, gait analysis, spinal temperature assessment, static and motion palpation. Based on the findings of the exam, an adjustment will be performed, where indicated. The adjustments are safe, gentle, and effective. Each adjustment is done using the Chiropractor’s hands, in a specific manner, catered to the joint being assessed. Most animals tolerate adjustments quite well!
