Animal Chiropractic Treatments
Does Your Animal Need Treatment?
The purpose of animal chiropractic adjustments is to realign and rebalance the body to relieve pain and discomfort and increase mobility.
Restrictions of the joints can occur for many reasons, some of the most common are incorrect posture which maybe compensatory to old or current injuries, accidents, falls, stress, and poor maintenance. This can lead to pain, numbness, pins and needles, or restricted mobility.
