Dr Yvonne has completed post graduate study with the international academy of veterinary chiropractic and is certified by the veterinary society of chiropractic.
Why do animals need chiropractic care?
Just like humans - animals have a spine and nervous system. When tension builds up within this system this can lead to dysfunction in the spine resulting in reduced performance, pain or stiffness. Chiropractic focuses on allowing the spine and nerves to move and function appropriately.
Dysfunction of the spine can be due to injuries, falls, dog collars, saddle fit, day to day activities as well as a range of other causes.
