Canine Chiropractic care is an alterative drugless method of holistic health care. Canine chiropractic care deals with the nervous system and the two most important parts which are the spinal cord and the nerves. A misalignment (subluxation) of the spine can alter nerve impulses and affect the nerves and the tissue supplied by those nerves. This altered function can lead to pain, disease, fatigue, muscle weakness, poor balance, immune suppression, and loss of appetite. A canine chiropractic adjustment is aimed at correcting the subluxation and resorting the proper functioning of the nervous system.

And wellness care is usually at a frequency of once a week to once a month depending upon the age and activity level of the dog.
