WHY ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC?

“The Nikki Story”

What makes an established senior chiropractor take a post-graduate course in Animal Chiropractic?

The answer: Nikki, a 4 year old border collie cross; she was destined for euthanasia, “to be put down” after she became suddenly paralyzed in the hind legs, lost her urine and bowel control. She obviously had a severe disc problem in her lower spine and was given only a 20% chance of recovery, in spite of expensive and invasive surgery that was offered as an option.

Nikki’s owners were “people-patients” of mine and desperately asked for any help I could give. Chiropractic care was started and the rest is history. This loving dog, now age 6 is able to walk, albeit with some weakness. She has good urinary control and improving bowel control.

This humbling experience led me to study animal chiropractic in an official and more complete manner.

I have been and still am a human chiropractor, but I am an animal lover. The extension of chiropractic to our pets is a natural and satisfying move for me.

Animal Chiropractic is a profession unique unto itself
