Chiropractic:
Gentle movement of vertebrae and other bones can help properly align the body. Animals with acute and chronic injuries compensate by using their bodies in a way that is out of balance, putting undue stress on other parts of the body. Having their body realigned with a chiropractic adjustment can bring great relief and comfort, and allow better movement again.
