The Animal Chiropractor

Chiropractic is a profession concerned with the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Simply put we look at We also treat people of all ages.

Chiropractic is a professional title protected by law in the UK and Channel Islands. This means that as a profession, high standards can be guaranteed and maintained. All animal chiropractors have completed 4-5 years undergraduate human chiropractic training, are registered with the general chiropractic council and have then undertaken postgraduate animal chiropractic training. Both of our chiropractors completed training with the International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic (Germany) and Options for Animals (Kansas, USA). In addition both chiropractors successfully completed the independent certification (consisting of a practical and written examination) of the IVCA (International Veterinary Chiropractic Association) and are registered with all major pet insurance providers. The combined experience of both chiropractors is now over 40 years. Horses recover more rapidly and have less re-exacerbations of conditions when their riders are treated as well. Agility handlers often feel as though their speed and agility (as well as that of their dog) improves with Chiropractic. Chiropractic generally involved manual, short lever manipulation but also can include soft tissue work, ultrasound, cold laser, kinesiotaping and acupuncture. We have experience of working with professional sports teams and individuals (rugby union and premiership football) as well as dressage, show jumping, agility etc.

As we endeavour to give each consult a generous amount of time and offer comprehensive care regrettably we are currently unable to accommodate new equine clients.

We are lucky that the north-east has a great collection of excellent equine practitioners and we will continue to recommend these.

Our canine clinic continues to run from NGCO Clinic with all five chiropractors able to offer consultations.

What might occur at an appointment

Do we treat our own dogs? Yes.

Blitz is almost 15 years old and has been struggling with proprioceptive deficit (loss of sensation / limb awareness) in his right hind foot since a fall.

We know he still loves trick training and working his mind so rehabilitation today worked on tricking him / distraction to maximise foot placement and beneficial effects of the Theraplate.

The care we offer for all animals is bespoke. It's suited to what they need and we meet them where they are at.

🐾 Chiropractic Care for Canines 🐾 written by Dom Salmon

Just like people, dogs can experience stiffness, soreness, and mobility issues. Chiropractic care can help support their comfort and movement. 🐶✨

✨ Common Reasons Owners Choose Canine Chiropractic:

Difficulty getting up or lying down

Limping or favoring one side

Stiffness after play or exercise

Age-related mobility issues

Recovery support after injury (alongside vet care)

🤲 How It Helps:

Gentle adjustments to improve joint motion

Reduce tension & discomfort

Support overall mobility and quality of life

💡 Takeaway:
Chiropractic care doesn’t replace veterinary treatment — it works with it to help your pup feel and move their best. Always make sure your chiropractor is trained in animal care. 🐕❤️

Animal chiropractic for the canine athlete is extremely useful. Check ups help optimise musculoskeletal health by fixing niggles before they become more substantial problems.
