Why see a Canine Chiropractor?

The Canine spine is very important area of a dog. It is central to the dog’s locomotive activities including its propulsion, flexibility and the coordination of its movement.

Back and neck biomechanical joint & muscle problems and arthritis are very common in dogs, perhaps as or even more common than in humans.

Many breeds are particularly susceptible to joint or muscle problems, and regular sessions with a chiropractor for dogs may be beneficial at mitigating or avoiding future issues.

 

A Chiropractor for dogs-large & small

Our dog chiropractor cares for dogs of varying sizes, breeds & lifestyles, from toy breeds such as Cavalier King Charles to larger breeds such as Spitz-type breeds & German Shepherds through to the very large Newfoundland & Bernese Mountain dogs as well as dogs of mix breed origins. 

We care for many of Australia's top ranked Canine Athletes & Show dogs. 

 

Whether you’re entering an agility contest and need your dog to be in the best possible condition, or you’re simply looking to alleviate joint pain in an older or arthritic dog, our dog chiropractor want to help.
