If none is present, your veterinarian is called in to perform further diagnostic work. If your dog has noticeably improved, a future adjustment schedule is determined based on the type and severity of your dog's condition. This range is usually 4 to 6 weeks between adjustments unless the condition is chronic or severe and requires more frequent visits. Chiropractors treat subluxations by gently adjusting the misaligned area into alignment. In most cases this restores proper skeletal movement, muscle and nerve function.
Most dogs noticeably enjoy their adjustment.
D.V.M. And I am certified in animal chiropractic through the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association. In Wisconsin, animal chiropractic may only be performed with a veterinary referral, and only if that veterinarian has performed an examination to determine the best course of treatment for your dog. It is recommended that you contact the Am. Please contact your vet to determine the need for diagnostic work and the appropriateness of a referral if you suspect that chiropractic care may be beneficial for your dog. The AVCA has a list of all certified animal chiropractors in the world.
