Introduction
Many pet owners wait until their animal is visibly limping or in severe discomfort before seeking care. However, chiropractic care is most effective when used both preventatively and therapeutically.
Common Reasons to Schedule a Visit
You should consider an appointment if your pet has:
- Recently experienced a fall or accident
- Undergone surgery
- Shown changes in gait or posture
- Developed stiffness after exercise
- Exhibited behavioral changes without clear cause
Even subtle signs may indicate spinal restriction or joint dysfunction.
Preventative Care Matters
Regular chiropractic evaluations can:
- Maintain flexibility
- Prevent chronic joint stress
- Improve coordination
- Support long-term mobility
Preventative care is especially beneficial for active dogs, agility competitors, and aging pets.
