What is Animal Chiropractic?
Animal chiropractic is a branch of chiropractic care that focuses on the health and well-being of animals, both large and small. Just like humans, animals can experience musculoskeletal issues such as joint stiffness, pain, and poor mobility. These issues can affect their quality of life, but chiropractic care can help.
Dr. Dave McRae, a qualified chiropractor with post-graduate qualifications in animal chiropractic, has extensive experience working with animals of all sizes, from pets to livestock. Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote better overall function for animals suffering from musculoskeletal conditions.
