A comprehensive approach to whole-body wellness that brings natural movement back into the body. Chiropractic care works to restore and support the connection between the brain and body, enhancing adaptability, mobility, and overall quality of life by identifying and addressing subluxations through safe, gentle, and precise adjustments.

Alterations in the body’s structure and function that can interfere with its communication network, the nervous system. Subluxations may influence alignment, mobility, sensory processing, and overall physiological performance on both a local and whole-body level. When this communication between the brain and body is disrupted, it can affect overall health and present as a variety of signs and symptoms.

Animals typically don’t experience joint “popping” or cavitation the way humans do, largely due to differences in the structure and tension of their joint capsules. This is simply a result of their unique anatomy and physical composition.

Becoming an animal chiropractor involves a combination of formal education, licensure, and specialized training. Here’s a streamlined overview of the typical path:

Earn a Bachelor’s Degree: Start by completing an undergraduate degree. While no specific major is required, courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and related sciences are highly recommended.

Complete a Chiropractic or Veterinary Program: Enroll in an accredited institution to earn either a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) or Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree.

Obtain Licensure: After graduation, you must pass the required licensing exams in the region where you intend to practice. This usually includes national board exams and any applicable state or regional requirements.

Pursue Specialized Animal Chiropractic Training: Additional certification in animal chiropractic is required. These programs are typically approved by recognized organizations and focus on techniques specific to animal care.

Get Certified: Once training is complete, apply for certification through a recognized governing body. This process generally includes both written and hands-on examinations to demonstrate competency.

Maintain Certification: Ongoing education is necessary to stay certified, along with adherence to professional standards set by the certifying organization.

Overall, this career path requires a strong foundation in both human or veterinary medicine, along with continued learning and a commitment to animal health and wellness.

Depends on the care plan specialized for your animal and their presentation. It is not as often as most humans due to the way animals often hold their adjustments.

If your pet seems “off” or if you are wanting preventative care, it is always great to call for an evaluation!

It’s always your choice. Many animals benefit from ongoing chiropractic care to support their progress and overall function, but it’s never required. As they begin to truly thrive, visits are gently spaced out and transition into a maintenance care plan to help them continue feeling their best.

Some animals may feel energized and playful, while others might experience mild soreness or increased fatigue—or even a combination of these responses. It’s best to keep activity levels controlled and avoid running, jumping, or other high-impact movements for a short period, but this ultimately depends on the individual patient and their presentation.

We greatly value working in partnership with veterinarians, as chiropractic care serves as a form of complementary support to veterinary medicine. A referral is not required in Oklahoma or Nebraska for Dr. Mac, though it is always welcomed and appreciated. This collaborative approach is important for ensuring the best possible care for each patient.

A full evaluation includes a thorough assessment from gait analysis to neurological function and everything in between. We also review and complete the patient intake form, discuss safety measures during the adjustment, and walk you through what the process may look like for your animal, including potential responses. Additionally, we outline their individualized care plan and, when appropriate, discuss referral options.

New Patient Exam is required before any regular adjustment.
