The Animal Chiropractor

Chiropractic is a profession concerned with the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Simply put we look at We also treat people of all ages.

Chiropractic is a professional title protected by law in the UK and Channel Islands. This means that as a profession, high standards can be guaranteed and maintained. All animal chiropractors have completed 4-5 years undergraduate human chiropractic training, are registered with the general chiropractic council and have then undertaken postgraduate animal chiropractic training. Both of our chiropractors completed training with the International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic (Germany) and Options for Animals (Kansas, USA). In addition both chiropractors successfully completed the independent certification (consisting of a practical and written examination) of the IVCA (International Veterinary Chiropractic Association) and are registered with all major pet insurance providers. The combined experience of both chiropractors is now over 40 years. Horses recover more rapidly and have less re-exacerbations of conditions when their riders are treated as well. Agility handlers often feel as though their speed and agility (as well as that of their dog) improves with Chiropractic. Chiropractic generally involved manual, short lever manipulation but also can include soft tissue work, ultrasound, cold laser, kinesiotaping and acupuncture. We have experience of working with professional sports teams and individuals (rugby union and premiership football) as well as dressage, show jumping, agility etc.

🐾 Chiropractic Care for Senior Dogs 🐾

As our dogs grow older, they often start to slow down — stiffness, reduced mobility, and age-related aches can make everyday activities harder. Chiropractic care offers a gentle, drug-free way to support their comfort and overall wellbeing.

Here’s how it can help our golden oldies:
✨ Reduces stiffness & pain — easing discomfort from arthritis, joint wear, and spinal tension.
✨ Improves mobility & flexibility — helping dogs move more freely, rise easier, and enjoy walks again.
✨ Supports posture & muscle balance — reducing compensation and strain on the body.
✨ Boosts quality of life — many senior dogs become brighter, more active, and more engaged after sessions.
✨ Relaxed, stress-free treatment — especially with mobile care, which allows older dogs to stay in their familiar, comfortable environment.

Chiropractic doesn't replace veterinary care — it complements it beautifully, giving senior dogs the extra support they need to stay comfortable and active for longer.

Geriatric canine care is something that is often not thought about in connection with animal chiropractic but it is a big part of what we do.

Our companions are living longer than ever and often struggle with long term medication use such as non-steroidal anti inflammatories.

Chiropractor undertake gentle, conservative care to increase suppleness and minimise the effects of wear and tear without bombarding the ageing neurology of geriatric dogs. The art of chiropractic is knowing how much treatment is beneficial for geriatric canines and what after care and home care advice will work best to optimise their senior years.

As we endeavour to give each consult a generous amount of time and offer comprehensive care regrettably we are currently unable to accommodate new equine clients.

We are lucky that the north-east has a great collection of excellent equine practitioners and we will continue to recommend these.

Our canine clinic continues to run from NGCO Clinic with all five chiropractors able to offer consultations.

Just like people, dogs can experience stiffness, soreness, and mobility issues. Chiropractic care can help support their comfort and movement. 🐶✨

✨ Common Reasons Owners Choose Canine Chiropractic:

Limping or favoring one side

Stiffness after play or exercise

Age-related mobility issues

Recovery support after injury (alongside vet care)

🤲 How It Helps:

Gentle adjustments to improve joint motion

Reduce tension & discomfort

Support overall mobility and quality of life

💡 Takeaway:
Chiropractic care doesn’t replace veterinary treatment — it works with it to help your pup feel and move their best. Always make sure your chiropractor is trained in animal care. 🐕❤️
