Dogs depend on proper movement and nervous system function to live comfortably and stay active. Canine chiropractic care focuses on restoring normal motion to the spine and joints so the body can move, adapt, and function as it was designed to.

Dogs often continue playing, working, or aging while quietly compensating for discomfort. Over time, these compensation patterns can lead to stiffness, soreness, changes in movement, or behavioral changes.

What to Expect

Long Term Support

Gentle, specific adjustments restore proper motion in the spine and joints to support healthy movement and nervous system function.

Each visit includes a movement and posture assessment followed by individualized, gentle chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care helps reduce compensation patterns and supports lasting comfort, balance, and mobility.
