Chiropractic for animals is relatively new, though since its formal introduction for humans in 1895, it has gained worldwide acceptance. Chiropractic treatment operates on a principle similar to acupuncture: that the interference of nerve function causes disease, and that interruptions in the nervous system may occur and result in disorders of internal organs. Through the adjustments of the spine and joints, the body's nervous system and natural defenses can alleviate pain and improve health.For animals, chiropractic can minimize, and potentially eliminate, poor gait patterns due to misalignments, or subluxations, of the spine.
