It happens when a dog changes its gait, posture, or weight distribution to avoid pain or discomfort. Understanding why dogs compensate in movement helps pet owners, trainers, and ve...

Dogs are masters at hiding pain. Unlike humans, they cannot tell us when something hurts, and many dogs instinctively mask discomfort to avoid appearing vulnerable. This behavior can make it difficult for pet owners to spot health problems early. Recognizing the subtle signs your dog is hiding pain....

Understanding what a normal gait looks like and spotting when something is off can help you catch problems early. Canine rehabilitation plays a key role in....

🚩Signs your Horse may Benefit from Chiro Care 🚩

• Acting cinchy or girthy
• Back soreness or stiffness
• Sensitive at the poll
• Not bending well one or both directions
• Not wanting to turn one way
• Tripping or stumbling
• Difficulty picking up a lead or lead changes
• Cross-firing at the lope/canter
• Head tossing, tilting, or shaking
• Difficulty chewing
• Running through the bit or pulling on the reins
• Uneven muscle development
• Trouble getting up or laying down

Performance horses and athletes often develop compensation patterns from repetitive work, event demands, soreness, or previous injuries. These compensations can affect movement, comfort, and overall performance especially over time.

Chiropractic care can help restore mobility, improve comfort, and support better movement and function.

Your horse doesn’t have to be “lame” to be uncomfortable!

Wondering how Dr. Mac became certified in animal chiropractic in Oklahoma?

Doctorate of Chiropractics:
• 2–4 years of undergrad (science-focused)
• Earn a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree (3.5–4 years)
• Complete 250+ curriculum accredited credit hours with hands-on training
• Pass 4 National Board exams (NBCE I–IV) totaling almost 20 hours of exam taking + physiotherapy board (optional)
• Get licensed through the Oklahoma Board of Chiropractic Examiners
• Pass a state jurisprudence exam
• Complete continuing education yearly

Animal Chiropractic in Oklahoma 🐾
To work on animals, chiropractors must be qualified to do so.

That includes:
225+ hours of approved coursework + hands-on training
Certification through an accredited Animal Chiropractic Program

Dr. Mac completed her certification at Parker University in Dallas, TX from March through July of 2025.

You can choose to be Board-Certified with the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA) or American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA). These require written plus practical exams that occur over 2-3 days, but are NOT required to practice in Oklahoma. Check your state to see their laws!

Continuing Ed:
• Oklahoma: 16 hours / 3 years
• IVCA/AVCA: 30 hours / 3 years

Important:
Without certification, chiropractors may only treat animals with a vet referral and cannot advertise those services in Oklahoma.

Dr. Mac has a Doctorate of Chiropractic, is board certified through the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (cAVCA), and is also nearing completion of her certification in animal therapy while traveling to serve fur friends in Nebraska!

All of this to say that our goal is to help you feel informed and confident when choosing care for your animal. Each state has different laws so be sure to do your research! Feel free to reach out to Dr. Mac if you ever have any questions!
