Dog Chiropractic at Pets in the City
Chiropractic practice is a safe, gentle and effective option to improve the function of your animal’s spine. Commonly thought to correct a ‘bone out of place’, it actually helps spinal function by improving the motion of a joint and flow of information through nerves of the body.
On Thursday Afternoons and Friday mornings we have the well known Dr. Kirsten Laurence here to help your pet with any joint and limb issues.

When a joint is unable to move properly it can lead to muscle imbalances, neurological impairment and add extra stress to the other joints of the body. If this is present in your animal, it may display signs of pain, changes in gait or temperament, decreased performance, or just have a general lack of wellbeing.
Applying a gentle chiropractic adjustment to the specific joint that has decreased motion restores proper movement, relaxes muscles and has pain relieving effects. As a result of this your animal is happier and healthier; there can also be an improvement in competitive performance and prevention of injury and lameness occurring in the future.
Qualified chiropractors are specifically trained to locate and correct these abnormal joints, as well as knowing when to refer out for conditions that aren’t treatable through chiropractic adjustments.
