Chiropractic

At Toccoa Veterinary Hospital we believe in the addition of alternative treatments to help your pet maintain the highest level of health possible. Whether your animal companion is an athlete or a geriatric animal that is starting to slow down, chiropractic can help them! 

• The bones of the spine and joints are maintained in a specific alignment. When that alignment is disrupted, it is called a subluxation.
• The nerves which surround each joint and vertebral articulation are in constant communication with the central nervous system, brain and all organs. When a subluxation exists, the nerves cannot properly communicate to the brain and the rest of the body.
• When the communication is disrupted, the negative effects on the body can be wide spread throughout the nervous system, local muscles, joints and even distant organs, glands and body functions.
• A Chiropractic adjustment is defined as a short lever, high velocity controlled thrust by the adjuster’s hand. This thrust is directed at a specific section of a bone to correct a subluxation

• Lameness, trouble getting up and down
• Behavior or mood change
• Chronic health problems that do not resolve as expected
• Neck, back, leg, and tail pain
• Muscle spasms and nerve problems

• Jaw or TMJ problems, such as difficulty chewing
