Animal Chiropractic
Just like humans, animals can experience spinal misalignment that can cause an array of problems. Dr. Hunter loves animals and is passionate about providing them with the same high-quality care that he gives to his patients.
He is a Certified Animal Chiropractor with the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA). The IVCA is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting excellence in the field of Veterinary Chiropractic.
Primary Benefits of Animal Chiropractic
You may be wondering why an animal would need chiropractic care. The primary reason why Dr. Hunter adjusts animals is, so they can move better and their nervous system functions optimally. Chiropractic also can improve joint motion if your animal has restricted movement-whether it be in the spine or an extremity.
Symptoms Animals in Pain May Exhibit
Below are some common symptoms in a dog that may indicate that pain is caused by a subluxation:
- A reluctance to move
- Abnormal posture
- Limited performance
- Changes in behaviour
- Sensitivity to touch
If your horse has pain that’s caused by a subluxation, here are some symptoms you may notice:
- Reduced performance
- Snapping and pinning back its ears when being saddled
- Disobedience when jumping
- A frightened expression
- Swishing its tail
What Does the Process Involve?
Using hands-on palpation, Dr. Hunter will evaluate your animal to determine what the problem is. He also will observe your animal moving. For example, maybe when riding your horse, you notice that when you ask your animal to turn left, the horse doesn’t turn left but fights it instead. Dr. Hunter can see if the horse won’t turn its head or its gait is off.
If it’s a chiropractic problem, then Dr. Hunter will perform an adjustment using his hands.
