Chiropractic philosophy is based on the relationship
of the spinal column to the nervous system and the role
of the spinal column in biomechanics and movement.
Spinal manipulation of humans has been practiced for
centuries in many cultures. Therapy is directed
at the spinal column to alter the progression of the
disease process.
Chiropractic care can be integrated into the veterinary
practice in many ways. As preventative health
care, or as a treatment for animals with chronic back
and neck pain or disk disease. Many degenerative
spinal diseases may respond to chiropractic adjustments,
increasing the quality of life for that patient.
At present, the definitive role of chiropractic care
has not yet been fully explored in veterinary medicine.
Ask your veterinarian about qualified individuals performing
chiropractic medicine in your area.
