Q. Does Chiropractic Work for Animals?
A. Chiropractic care can be appropriate for your animal. While there are obvious differences in anatomy and biomechanics between humans and animals, there are similarities in the structure, motion and function of the musculoskeletal systems; especially the spinal joints. Changes in the normal motion of the joints of the spine (whether due to trauma, physical stress, overuse, or poor conformation), can affect the normal function of the nervous system which controls or coordinates all other tissues in the body.

Many veterinarians and trainers request chiropractic care for the relief of symptoms such as back pain or a lameness that cannot be isolated to the lower limb, however many people are starting to see the value of chiropractic care in the absence of obvious symptoms where the results can be seen as increased performance and well-being.

Q. What Kind of Training Does an Animal Chiropractor Have?
A. The American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) offers certification in animal chiropractic to licensed veterinarians or chiropractors. The AVCA was founded in 1989 by a group of chiropractors and veterinarians with the purpose of establishing standards of education and practice in the field of chiropractic care for animals. There are currently three locations in the US that offer courses in animal chiropractic that allow you to sit the certification examination. The basic certification course includes 150 hours of education followed by a comprehensive written and practical examination.
