Why do some pets carry their tail to one side? It’s often compensation. When the hips, pelvis, or lower back are tight, the tail becomes a lever to offload strain. You might also see shorter strides, difficulty sitting square, trouble jumping, or a “C-shaped” stand.
What chiropractic can do:
• Assess spine, pelvis, tail, and gait as one system
• Gentle, species-appropriate adjustments to restore motion
• Soft-tissue work and simple home exercises
• Guidance on ramps, traction, and activity pacing

Red-flag vet first: sudden severe pain, dragging tail, incontinence, fever, open wounds, or trauma.

Let’s make those wags even again—schedule today.

Pets Aligned For Life
Yes, the dog in the photo is ridiculously cute. But cute shouldn’t have to limp, bunny-hop stairs, or skip playtime.

When the spine is out of sync, pets move like they’re 12 going on 90. Animal chiropractic helps them get their wiggle back.

What you’ll first notice:

Improvement in mobility and flexibility

Reduction in pain and discomfort

Enhancement in their quality of life

We work alongside your vet so your pet gets the full picture of care.

Senior pets don’t have to “just live with it.” Gentle, low-force animal chiropractic can help reduce stiffness, support joint function, and make everyday movements easier—getting up, doing stairs, settling into sleep. We assess gait and posture, work at your pet’s pace, and use senior-safe techniques to support comfort and confidence with every step.

Complementary to veterinary care. If your pet has sudden severe pain, new weakness, or neurologic changes, contact your veterinarian first.

Pets Aligned for Life
When a cat stops jumping onto their favorite spots, it’s often more than “slowing down.” Hesitation to leap can signal spinal misalignments, joint stiffness, or discomfort affecting their mobility.

Chiropractic care supports healthy alignment and nerve function, helping cats:
✔ Move with greater ease
✔ Regain confidence in their jumps
✔ Stay active and comfortable longer

If your cat is avoiding heights or changing their habits, it may be time for a chiropractic check-in.

When your animal suddenly pauses at the bottom step, struggles to climb, or avoids stairs altogether, it’s more than just “slowing down.” It can be a sign that their spine, joints, or muscles are under stress.

At Johnson Chiropractic Animal Clinic, we help restore comfort and mobility so your animal can feel confident moving through daily life — stairs included.

Chiropractic care is gentle, safe, and tailored to each pet. Many animal guardians notice improved ease, energy, and confidence in their companions after just a few visits.

If your dog or cat is struggling with stairs, it may be their way of asking for help. We’re here to listen, assess, and support their health so they can get back to moving the way they want to.

Book an initial assessment today to see how chiropractic care can make a difference.

Chiropractic care isn’t just for people—it can make a real difference for your pets.

From stiffness on the stairs to slowing down on walks, small signs of discomfort often point to bigger issues with the spine, joints, or nervous system. Animal chiropractic care helps:

Improve mobility and flexibility

Reduce pain and discomfort

Support overall nervous system health

The result is a happier, more comfortable pet who can enjoy life to the fullest.

Today, I had the honour of seeing my very first puppy for Animal Reiki at my new location - Johnson Chiropractic Animal Clinic.

He didn't run up for affection. He watched. He listened.
And only after our session, he leaned in, rested his face against mine and gave me a kiss. It was a sweet and powerful moment of trust and connection.

Arlo is a just-over-one-year-old Mini Aussie who came to see me for help with his anxiety, skittishness, excessive barking, and for his overall well-being.

Arlo took his time to get to know me and find his comfort level with me. During our sessionthe focus was on helping him soften, shift his energy, and feel safe enough in his body to have a Reiki nap. Just as importantly, we worked with his wonderful human, Catherine, on ways to shift her own energy to support him through any tough moments that may come up in the future.

The transformation was quiet but powerful. By the end, Arlo’s energy had softened, and Catherine’s smile said everything.

This is why I do this work — to help animals feel safe, seen, and understood, and to support their humans in witnessing that transformation. I cannot wait to see their bond grow from here. 💗✨
