FAQ

Evaluation

The evaluation is one of the most important parts of your chiropractic visit as it involves gathering the history of the animal. The past experiences of an animal, including any physical traumas and/or emotional stressors, is helpful in determining how to handle treatment of the animal and what kind of care plan they may require. If applicable this will also incorporate prior x-rays or laboratory analysis and previous diagnoses and therapies. A thorough chiropractic evaluation includes an examination of the animal prior to an adjustment. This examination includes: posture and gait analysis as well as static and motion palpation

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you adjust an animal?

Adjusting an animal is much different than adjusting a human due to the  difference in anatomy, thus the reason animals should only be adjusted by certified  animal chiropractors. Using our hands, chiropractors are able to localize joints of  decreased mobility and perform precise adjustment in order to restore normal range of motion. With the restoration of motion, nerves are immediately  able to increase their frequency of firing and improve nervous system function. The end goal is to improve communication between brain and body!

How long does an adjustment take?

Adjustments take anywhere from 5-20 minutes depending on the client! Some pets are much more relaxed than others and can be adjusted easily, whereas others may take a little more time to get situated. Keep in mind we only ever adjust your animal in their comfort zone, that way they only ever walk away with good experiences.

Can an adjustment worsen my animal or hurt them?

After being adjusted an animal may experience some soreness due to removal of long-time fixations. This soreness should not last very long and within a day or two will dissipate. An adjustment itself should never hurt, though on occasion an animal that is currently experiencing severe pain may note slight discomfort momentarily.

Will my animal be able to return to normal business immediately?

Individualized recommendations will be given after each adjustment for your animal. More often than not the animal should take the remainder of the day off to rest, however, not all of our patients think the same way. Often times with older pets there is a noted increase in energy level, if this is the case feel free to have some extra fun with your animal!

What kind of training does a certified animal chiropractor have?

  • They are either a Doctor of Chiropractic or a Veterinarian
  • They have successfully completed one of the 3 recognized animal chiropractic schools.  Those schools are Options for Animals, Healing Oasis, and Parker Chiropractic College
  • They are certified either by the AVCA (American Veterinary Chiropractic Association) or the IVCA (International Veterinary Chiropractic Association).  There is NO Board certification in animal Chiropractic.

Dr Christina is a magical healer! We have a one year old Doberman who was all out of alignment and not able to get up and get moving quickly. She was favoring her front leg. After her first adjustment her alignment was back in place and she was moving much faster. We’re still working on the front leg but couldn’t be happier with the results this far! Dr Christina is amazing with us and our pups. She has a calming presence that makes you feel right at home when you’re in her company. We can’t thank her enough for helping our babies 💕

Dr Christina is simply the best. She was a godsend when my senior yorkie girl had a painful flareup from an old injury, and she was also able to improve the quality of life for my oldest yorkie in his twilight days.

Dr Cole is amazing! I brought my cat to see her when I noticed she wasn’t moving around too well and was gaining weight. I’m so glad that I did. After just two adjustments there is a huge improvement! She’s acting like a kitten again, and is down to her normal weight. I will be bringing all my animals to her from now on.

Dr. Christina is fantastic! I can’t say enough about the positive experience and support she has provided for me and my senior pup Pete. Pete and I are both fun-loving athletes and yoga practitioners who love to be outside enjoying our local parks and trails. We love most of all to run. Pete’s injury and subsequent limp were very stressful for us both and I remember my eyes filling with tears when we visited her office for the first time and I saw just how much discomfort he was in. He looked visibly relieved and relaxed after his first adjustment. It was nice knowing how much chiropractic care can assist in healing and it was a great relief to both me and to Pete. Dr. Christina was confident, gentle and skilled, and has had such a great connection with Pete. He seems to really like her and understand that she is helping him. We went from a very significant limp and muscle spasm and slow walking to him trotting (not back to running just yet) along the Clinton River Trail this past week. I am so pleased with his progress and all of her suggestions for ways that I can support his healing at home. The next time Pete and I teach a Doga class I am confident he will be back to his usual self! We also have dreams of marching in the Christmas parade. Pete gives Dr Christina 4 paws for being so awesome! We both highly recommend her!

This boy has been to see Dr grant three times so far. We just started going in August bc he had an incident where he wouldn’t move or use his back legs like he was his whole life. Hes only three, so I was searching for help for him before it got any worse. After a neuro consult, ortho consult (both of whom said it wasn’t ivdd or hip dysplasia) and a visit with Dr Grant he’s back to his normal self most of the time. I’m so glad we found such a great Chiropractor. He’s so kind to my pup and offers treats. Asks about allergies first. Doobie loves him although he is a little spicy for his visit. He always offers to lend me a muzzle specifically for flat face dogs. So helpful and keeps him and my pup safe during the adjustment. He sent me thorough notes via email and talked to me about what he felt during the adjustment and how it differed from the ones before. Truly, I couldn’t be happier with his services. Doobie is forever grateful too
