Animal Chiropractic Services

Chiropractic care for animals offers a gentle and effective manual treatment option for many health and performance problems. When integrated with veterinary care, chiropractic provides a powerful method of addressing spinal problems and many related conditions.

Dr. Angela Rapposelli focuses on finding and removing vertebral subluxations, which are found wherever there is lack of mobility in the spine. Subluxations decrease the body's ability to function normally by effecting the flow of nervous system information to and from the brain. By removing subluxations and restoring normal motion to joints of the spine and extremities, chiropractic adjustments enable the nervous system to communicate effectively with all systems of the body. Enhanced healing and maintaining wellness are the results.

Some of the benefits for your pet can include relief from muscle pain and stiffness, increased joint mobility and improved gait, lowered stress and anxiety, higher energy level, and improved overall function.


Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is well established in the human world of health care and is often prescribed for post-surgical recovery, neurological injuries, fractures, sprains and strains, wounds, and arthritis. Pets suffer from these same conditions. The benefits of canine rehabilitation include improved quality of life for your companion through decreased pain and increased strength, flexibility, balance, coordination and endurance.

Our underwater treadmill allows dogs to move and walk while the buoyancy of the warm water greatly reduces loading placed on painful or healing structures, making it ideal for strengthening. Rehabilitation on the underwater treadmill allows a shorter rehabilitation time and faster return to function. Not only is our underwater treadmill suitable for dogs recovering from a variety of injuries and surgeries, it also helps strengthen geriatric dogs.
