What to Expect
Dr. Ward will assess your animal and decide if the diagnosis of subluxation (a very specific condition, or disease, of the spinal column in which one or more of the joints are not moving properly) is correct. Once identified, she will attempt a correction of the subluxated or "stuck" vertebra. This correction is called an ADJUSTMENT. An adjustment is a short, rapid thrust onto a vertebra in a very specific direction that will restore movement into the fixated joint.

Chiropractic is very specific, and adjustments are made on each vertebra directly. Jerking on legs or tails is NOT an adjustment. A proper examination and evaluation by the Doctor is necessary to determine what needs to be adjusted, and more importantly, what NOT to adjust.

While delivering an adjustment the Doctor uses a controlled force. Even large animals don't necessarily need more force that very small ones. Each joint of the spine is moveable, and if the correct angle is used, the adjustment is relatively easy using low force. In addition, although particular attention is paid to the spine, the doctor may also adjust the jaw, legs, or skull depending on necessity.

What is the IVCA
The IVCA is a non-profit making international organization dedicated to promoting excellence in the field of Veterinary Chiropractic. The association endeavours to establish consistently high standards of Veterinary Chiropractic through approved educational courses, certification examinations and the membership code of conduct and standard of proficiency. Membership to the IVCA is only granted to qualified veterinarians or chiropractors (or individuals qualified in both professions) upon successful completion of approved veterinary chiropractic postgraduate training, board certification exams and adherence to membership rules and regulations. To ensure the development of the veterinary chiropractic profession the IVCA requires members to undertake regular continuing professional development (CPD) and supports and encourages research."
