Animal Chiropractic is NOW AVAILABLE in the Tri-County Area!​

Animal chiropractic care focuses on the health and wellness of the spine and musculoskeletal system in animals like dogs, cats, and horses. This non-invasive practice can be a crucial part of an animal’s health care regime,  providing relief from pain, improving mobility and enhancing overall quality of life. Licensed chiropractors who wish to extend their expertise to animals must undergo additional certification focused on understanding animal anatomy, neurology, and chiropractic techniques specific to different species. This ensures they are well-equipped to provide safe and effective care tailored to the unique needs of our four-legged companions.

Dr. Julie Royal is certified through the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) and has been practicing in this specialized field now for well over 10 years, working with many of these four-legged (sometimes very fluffy) patients –  large and small!

The importance of this practice spans across different ages and breeds. Whether they are young and developing or older and experiencing the wear and tear of age – all animals can benefit from an adjustment! A variety of conditions can be addressed effectively through chiropractic interventions for animals – such as a dog suffering from seizures, a cat with osteoarthritis, or a horse unable to perform due to joint stiffness –  could find significant relief without the need for invasive surgeries or long-term medication, which can come with a host of side effects.

This service is inherently safer than many surgical options, as it avoids the risks associated with anesthesia and potential surgical complications. Moreover, it provides pet owners with an alternative that is better overall for their skeletal health!

As you may already know, a healthy spine creates longevity of life and higher quality living! That fact applies for animals just as it does for us humans.
