The Animal Chiropractor

Sometimes it’s not obvious pain — it’s the little things. A dog slowing down, sitting a bit off, hesitating before jumping, or feeling stiff after rest can all be signs of restrictions in the body.

When joints aren’t moving well, surrounding muscles often tighten up to protect the area. Over time, that extra tension can turn into muscle strains or soreness. Chiropractic care helps reduce that stress by improving movement and balance throughout the body 💛

A lot of people are surprised to hear that dogs can get chiropractic care, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about how much their bodies do every day. Running, jumping, twisting, slipping on floors, playing hard, aging — it all adds up.

Over time, dogs can develop restrictions in the spine and joints, meaning certain areas just don’t move the way they should. When that happens, other parts of the body often have to work harder to compensate, which can lead to muscle tension and strain. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring normal movement so the whole body can function more comfortably 🐾

We see dogs of all ages at the clinic but it is worth giving a special mention to seniors.

Luckily, our dogs are living for longer and we know more now about nutrition, exercise and injury prevention than ever before.

Chiropractic for older dogs is designed to help them live more comfortably for as long as possible.

Older canine care is different to that which we provide for younger dogs. Muscle tension and joint restrictions sometimes exist to help stabilise things. It's harder for dogs as they age to cope with things like slippy floors, stairs, the contrast between the colder weather and the central heating. That's why we consider the neurology and work with each dog as an individual to optimise their musculoskeletal health relative to them and their environment.

🐾 Chiropractic Care for Senior Dogs 🐾

As our dogs grow older, they often start to slow down — stiffness, reduced mobility, and age-related aches can make everyday activities harder. Chiropractic care offers a gentle, drug-free way to support their comfort and overall wellbeing.

Here’s how it can help our golden oldies:
✨ Reduces stiffness & pain — easing discomfort from arthritis, joint wear, and spinal tension.
✨ Improves mobility & flexibility — helping dogs move more freely, rise easier, and enjoy walks again.
✨ Supports posture & muscle balance — reducing compensation and strain on the body.
✨ Boosts quality of life — many senior dogs become brighter, more active, and more engaged after sessions.
✨ Relaxed, stress-free treatment — especially with mobile care, which allows older dogs to stay in their familiar, comfortable environment.

Chiropractic doesn't replace veterinary care — it complements it beautifully, giving senior dogs the extra support they need to stay comfortable and active for longer.
