What Is Animal Chiropractic?
A Complete Guide for NC Pet & Horse Owners
What Is Animal Chiropractic?
Animal chiropractic is generally a hands-on approach that focuses on the relationship between the spine, joints, nervous system, and movement. When the spine or extremities aren’t moving as they should, animals can experience stiffness, discomfort, and changes in their normal behavior or performance.
Through safe, specific adjustments, chiropractic care helps restore normal joint motion—supporting comfort, balance, flexibility, and natural movement.
This form of care is commonly used for:
Dogs
Cats
Horses
Performance animals
Senior pets
Active or sporting dogs
Animals with postural changes or mobility challenges
As a mobile practice based in North Carolina, Bouncing Back Chiropractic brings this movement-focused care directly to homes, barns, and equestrian facilities across the Triangle and surrounding areas.
Is Animal Chiropractic Safe?
Yes—when performed by a professional trained and certified in animal chiropractic.
Dr. Jessica Tyndall is AVCA-certified, ensuring your animal receives care that is both safe and evidence-informed.
Animal chiropractic does not replace veterinary medical care—it complements it. Many owners use chiropractic alongside regular vet visits to support mobility and overall wellness.
How Does an Adjustment Work?
Adjustments are precise movements applied by hand or specialized tools to joints that aren’t moving optimally. These adjustments can help improve:
Joint mobility
Posture
Coordination
Comfort
Performance
Overall well-being
Many animals visibly relax during or after an adjustment, often exhibiting behaviors such as licking, chewing, stretching, or shaking out tension.
Conditions Chiropractic May Support
While chiropractic does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, it can support mobility and comfort in animals who show:
Stiffness or reluctance to move
Changes in gait
Difficulty jumping or navigating stairs
Uneven posture
