⭐️ Animal Chiropractic: It’s More Than Just the Spine ✨
When most people think “chiropractic,” they picture the spine…
But in animals, the entire body works as one connected system, that’s why I assess and adjust both the spine and the extremities at every session (if possible.)
Here’s why👇
🔹 Movement starts at the feet
A horse’s stride or a dog’s gait is influenced by how their hooves/paws, joints, and soft tissues absorb impact. If a knee, hock, or shoulder, are not moving correctly, the spine will always compensate.
🔹 Extremity issues create spinal issues
Tight shoulders, sore hocks, or uneven loading in the legs can cause compensation through the body.
You can adjust the spine all day, but if the limb problem isn’t addressed, the issues will keep occurring.
🔹 Performance + comfort depend on whole-body function
Athletic horses and active dogs rely on clean joint motion from nose to tail. When every joint moves freely, the nervous system communicates clearly, muscles fire correctly, and movement becomes smoother and more efficient.
🔹 A balanced body = a happier, healthier animal. Better posture, fewer compensations, improved mobility, and a more comfortable animal overall.
✨ Spine + extremity adjustments = full-body chiropractic care.
Because your horse or dog deserves to move, feel, and perform at their very best, every step of the way!
