About Animal Chiropractic
Animal chiropractic is a drug-free approach to pet healthcare. It focuses on the nervous system housed inside the spinal column. Recent surveys and studies indicate that 45% of U.S. households own at least one dog and 38% of U.S. households own at least one cat. According to an AVMA report, in 2006 Americans spent approximately $23.2 billion on veterinary care for their pets.
Animal chiropractic care may be appropriate in the treatment of:
Neck, back, leg, and tail pain
Muscle spasms, nerve problems
Disc or joint problems, limping
Injuries from slips, falls and accidents
Jaw, TMJ problems, difficulty chewing
Event or sports injuries
Any recurring conditions such as vomiting, respiratory or urinary infections, diarrhea or constipation
Seizures or neurological problems
