All treatment is carried out in conjunction with conventional veterinary care and is considered complimentary rather than alternative. Chiropractic is known to be an effective therapeutic tool when implemented as part of a vet lead team.
An initial consultation involves taking a thorough history to best understand the animals lifestyle, any veterinary history and any current symptoms/reasons for seeking treatment.
A static assessment of the animals conformation and posture is then followed by a dynamic assessment, where the movement of the animal will be observed to identify any dysfunctional gait patterns.
Your practitioner will then carefully palpate your animals skeletal and muscular systems to identify any areas of pain, tension or restriction. Further orthopaedic or neurological tests may be performed before any findings are relayed to you.
By following this comprehensive assessment process, the best course of action for your animal can be determined and effectively implemented. Typically treatments will incorporate a range of manual techniques which are combined to provide a bespoke treatment session specific to your animals needs.
