Chiropractic Treatment and Process

Methodology

Using the examination technique known as “motion palpation” — which assesses whether each joint moves optimally within its normal range of motion — the practitioner identifies the joint or joints with restricted mobility.
These areas are where chiropractic treatment is required.

​

The animal is treated chiropractically in regions of reduced function, taking into account the findings from the neurological examination.

​

In addition to the chiropractic adjustment itself, it is important to release tension in the surrounding muscle groups, as tight muscles can hold joints in a restricted position, thereby limiting the desired treatment outcome.

The primary function of a joint is movement.

When this function is impaired, the animal begins to compensate, leading to pain and stiffness over time.

​

Follow-Up Treatment

After the musculoskeletal system has been examined and treated, it is determined when follow-up treatment will be necessary.

​

Typically, the animal is treated twice within a short interval, followed by additional treatments as needed.
A single session is not sufficient to restore and maintain full functionality.

​

Between treatments, the owner is usually given exercises and rehabilitation routines designed to restore normal spinal function and biomechanics.
