Veterinary chiropractic also known as animal chiropractic, is an emerging subspecialization for Doctors of Veterinary Medicine (DVMs) and Doctors of Chiropractic(DCs) only, to provide integrative healthcare. Veterinary Chiropractic is not an Alternative Treatment it is an Integrative Care. Veterinary Chiropractic is not meant to replace conventional Veterinary Care. Integrative Care means best res

ults if used in conjunction with good conventional Veterinary Care. As always, also here applies: Balance is the key to success and finding the root of the problem. The main command centers of the nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord. The essential spinal cord is being protected by vertebrae and associated with complex, major structures like f.eg. nerves (leading to all structures in the body), muscles, ligaments etc. The doctor first finds areas of restrictive movement f.eg. of the vertebrae of the spine. Such restrictive movement usually has quite an impact on the associated nerves and muscles and can cause serious neurological interference leading to :
- fixed vertebra, muscles and ligaments leading to inflammation and nerve impingement and tissue damage loss of function
Remember that nerves innervate various structures in the body not only muscles also organs. So easy symptoms of those spinal fixations of your animal could be:
- pain, sensitivity to touch, spasm, lameness, gait abnormalities etc. And of course there are plenty of more symptoms much more difficult to differentiate especially when the organs start to malfunction due to subluxations of the vertebrae and consequently neurological interferences. How does the Chiropractor treat those subluxations? Chiropractic treatment approaches the nervous system via so called adjustments of the subluxations (immobilities) in the spine or extremities- the doctors use their hands and a precise thrust and angles on the immobile anatomical structures. Veterinary Chiropractic explores on the root cause of your animal’s problem and
is an effective and valuable way of treating your animal -restoring ,maintaining and improving strength & health and top performance.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine were incorporated alongside conventional therapies to manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in an eight‑year‑old Domestic Shorthair cat. Standard treatment for feline IBD often relies on long‑term corticosteroids or additional immunosuppressive agents, supplemented by antimicrobials, vitamin B12, and dietary modification. In this case, the addition of integrative modalities substantially reduced the need for corticosteroid therapy while maintaining clinical stability. This case illustrates the potential value of combining acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine with evidence‑based medical management to support gastrointestinal function, reduce inflammation, and mitigate the long‑term risks associated with chronic steroid or immunosuppressive use in feline patients.

This interesting case report describes how acupuncture and Chinese herbal supplementation were used to successfully treat, support and stabilize a twelve-year-old Labrador Retriever with chronic kidney disease and hind end weakness. A Chinese herbal formulation, Rehmannia Eight (Ba Wei Di Huang Wan), was started when mild azotemia with isosthenuria was noted in laboratory work. Acupuncture was used to provide further support to the kidneys as well as for mobility support. The patient showed mild improvement in the creatinine and the hind end weakness significantly improved, enhancing the patient's overall quality of life.
