Chiropractic VSMT
Veterinary chiropractic care (a.k.a. veterinary orthopedic manipulation) is the practice of manipulating the spine in order to treat a disease.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Animals
Chiropractic care (also known as Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy or VSMT) can alleviate many conditions in pets, including chronic muscle pain, joint disorders, spinal misalignment, or even behavioral changes due to discomfort. Adjustments facilitate normal movement in the spinal column, limbs and pelvis.
When animals receive chiropractic treatment from professional practitioners like those on our team at Pawsitive Strides Veterinary Rehabilitation and Therapy, they may move more comfortably around their environment and have greater overall quality of life.
When Should I Bring My Pet for Chiropractic Care?
The good news is that pets at many ages can benefit from chiropractic care. One such instance is for older pets experiencing joint stiffness or mobility issues as part of aging. By gently manipulating and realigning their skeletal structure, we can help alleviate pain and improve agility in your senior pet. Similarly, if your four-legged companion shows signs of discomfort when moving—or even reluctance to move a tailored set of adjustments could potentially get him the relief he may need to start moving freely again Routine chiropractic care is an important part of a program to help minimize injuries in athletic dogs.
