Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic treatment is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, sports injuries and support general well-being. Chiropractic manipulation therapy is very safe and beneficial for both humans and all vertebrate animals as a non-invasive option for pain management, corrective care and preventative wellness without the use of surgery or pharmaceuticals.

Physical Rehab Therapy

Canine/Feline rehabilitation is physical therapy being performed by a certified canine/feline rehabilitation practitioner. The results of animal rehabilitation can lessen pain by increasing joint mobility, improve musculoskeletal function, increase strength and improve recovery outcomes from surgery, assist with weight management, support degenerative-related diseases and arthritic diseases. 

Doctor of Chiropractic

Chiropractors undergo a rigorous, 5 academic year education after completing a 4 year bachelor’s degree. In some areas such as anatomy, physiology, rehab, nutrition, radiology, neurology & orthopedics, they receive as much, if not more, intensive education than medical students. They must complete a minimum one-year clinical-based program/residency with patient care. The curriculum is 4,200+ hours of classroom, laboratory & clinical experience. A four-part written board exam, practical exam & jurisprudence exam is required for licensure. Chiropractic is a health care profession which utilizes a manual or physical rehab approach to health care that focuses on disorders of the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, extremities and the effects these disorders have on general health.
