Animal Chiropractic: Yes, It’s Really a Thing

Nothing explains it better than seeing the difference. In this short video, watch how gentle adjustments help animals restore comfort, motion, and quality of life.

What Is Animal Chiropractic?

Animal chiropractic looks at how your pet’s spine, joints, and nerves work together. Just like people, animals can develop subluxations: joints that lose normal motion and irritate nearby nerves. These can affect posture, movement, digestion, and even mood. By restoring motion, chiropractic helps your animal’s body heal, adapt, and perform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is animal chiropractic?

It’s focused on restoring normal joint motion (spine & limbs) to reduce nerve irritation and improve movement, comfort, and function.

Is it safe?

Yes. When performed by a trained provider. Techniques are gentle and specific, adapted to your animal’s size and needs.

Will it hurt my animal?

Adjustments use quick, precise, low-force inputs. Most animals tolerate care well and relax during the visit.

How many visits will my animal need?

It varies. Many improve over 1–4 visits. Chronic issues may take longer; acute issues can be quicker. We’ll recheck and space visits based on response.

How long does a visit take?

First visit: 20-30 minutes (history, exam, first treatment). Follow-ups: 5-20 minutes, depending on findings.

What might my pet feel after an adjustment?

Some animals are mildly sore or tired for a day as tissues adapt. We usually recommend rest the same day, then a gradual return to activity.

Do you coordinate with my veterinarian?

Yes. Chiropractic complements veterinary care, and we’re happy to coordinate with your DVM whenever it’s helpful (e.g., imaging, medications, or specific diagnoses). Our shared goal is your animal’s best outcome.

Do I need a veterinary referral in Utah?

No referral is required in Utah when your animal chiropractor is a licensed chiropractic physician who is certified in animal chiropractic (AVCA). Dr. Martin meets these requirements. Law reference: Utah Code §58-28-307(12)(a); updated via SB 114 (2021)

From Dr. Martin: I helped advocate for Utah’s 2021 update that removed the blanket referral requirement for certified animal chiropractors: one email to a state senator started the process. I’m grateful the law now makes access easier for pets and owners.

Can chiropractic be used with other treatments (meds, rehab, laser, etc.)?

Yes. Chiropractic is often used alongside medications, rehab, and other therapies.

Which animals benefit?

I’ve personally treated dogs, cats, birds, pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, horses, and cows. In truth, any animal can benefit from an adjustment. We simply tailor the approach to the species, size, and specific needs. If you’re unsure whether your animal is a candidate, text or call and we’ll talk it through together.

How can you adjust something as big as a horse?

Large animals respond to precise, well-aimed, low-amplitude adjustments: it’s about accuracy, not brute force. I use species-appropriate hand contacts, body positioning/leverage, and instrument-assisted options when needed.
Fun update: I’m working with Hogle Zoo veterinarians to explore safe, vet-supervised adjustments for a giraffes, elephants, and many other animals at the zoo.

How should I prepare my pet/horse?

Short walk and potty break before the visit; bring vet records if available.
For barn calls: safe, flat area; handler present; halter/lead rope; light work or rest after care.

Could your pet use a little re-‘fur’esh?
