why does an animal need
chiropractic Care?
Proper Neurological Communication
When an animal has reduced mobility, either in the spinal column or extremities, there is a disconnection in communication between the brain and the body. Chiropractic restores this connection by increasing range of motion and reducing pressure on the nervous system.

faq
1 Do you help more than just dogs and horses?
Yes! We can help any animal with a spine. Most commonly, we see dogs, cats, and horses; however, we have also helped rabbits, pigs, and cows. We would love to adjust a giraffe!
2 Do I need a referral from my veterinarian?
Currently in the state of Texas, yes. Your vet needs to fill out our referral form before we can see your animal. Chiropractic is considered a human therapy traditionally; therefore, when performed on animals it falls under the veterinarian scope of practice. In order to comply with state laws, your vet must provide general supervision of the chiropractic adjustment.
3 Do you make house / barn calls?
Yes! We travel throughout Texas to help animals in need. We have an office near Houston, but we routinely travel to DFW, Longview, and Austin. Please note that we do charge a travel fee and require multiple patient bookings before we will travel certain distances.
