Chiropractic Care for Pets

At Cranbrook Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer veterinary chiropractic care for both cats and dogs.

This specialized treatment focuses on the health of the spine and nervous system and can provide a safe, drug-free approach to managing pain and improving mobility.

Chiropractic care can be especially beneficial for pets suffering from conditions such as joint disorders, neurological issues, mobility challenges, and chronic pain.

By addressing misalignments in the spine and musculoskeletal system, chiropractic adjustments can help restore balance, improve nerve function, and enhance your pet’s overall well-being and quality of life.

Benefits of a Veterinary Chiropractor

Spinal issues and musculoskeletal disorders can cause your pet's health to quickly deteriorate. These can severely impact other joints and muscles, along with movement, posture and flexibility.

You might consider asking your veterinarian if your cat or dog could benefit from chiropractic sessions if your pet is displaying these signs or symptoms:

  • Pained facial expression
  • Change in gait, limping or short stride
  • Reluctance to be touched or picked up
  • Change in posture, weight shifting or inability to bear weight

What to Expect During Treatment

Chiropractic care is most commonly administered as an additional treatment option for animals experiencing spinal problems or biomechanical-related musculoskeletal disorders.

During a veterinary chiropractic treatment session, your pet will typically undergo spinal manipulation or manual therapy to shift misplaced vertebrae in the spine (also referred to as vertebral subluxations) back to their natural positions in order to release pressure on surrounding nerve tissue.

In turn, this can help to relieve pain throughout the body and allow it to heal itself naturally.
