The bones of the spine and joints in horses, dogs and cats ideally are maintained in a specific alignment.

The nerves and vertebrae are in constant communication with the central nervous system and brain.

When changes in the alignment occurs, subluxation, this can affect the nervous system, muscles, joints and other body functions.

Most animals will typically handle an exam and adjustment without signs of pain.

If a painful region is identified, gentle techniques can be used to reduce pain before adjustments are performed.

Many animals will show immediate improvement, though often a few sessions might be required to resolve their pain. If a chronic health problem is identified, your animal may need periodic adjustments to maintain normal function.

For Dogs and Cats:   Reluctance to move, abnormal posture, animal lies on only one side, limited performance, signs of pain when performing certain movements, sensitivity to touch, stiffness after activity/bending or sleeping, irregular gait, decreased range of motion, among other clinical signs.

For Horses: Loss or decrease in performance, gait problems/lameness, problems or difficulty executing desired movements, behavioral changes.
