Why Choose Diablo View Veterinary Medical Hospital for Pet Chiropractic Services
At Diablo View Veterinary Medical Hospital, our trained, professional team integrates chiropractic treatment with conventional veterinary care, for a well-rounded approach to your pet’s health.
We realize that pet care, and chiropractic care especially, is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Our vets practice a personalized approach to ensure each pet receives the best possible care. Each animal’s unique anatomy, condition, and health history plays a key role in what types of treatment our team recommends and performs.
The Importance of Chiropractic Care for Pets
This gentle therapy triggers endorphin release, which can alleviate pain and promote deep relaxation. It also supports inflammation reduction, improving circulation and overall mobility in the process.
Many veterinarians recommend acupuncture for pain management, particularly when pets face chronic conditions like arthritis or long-term orthopedic concerns. It further offers valuable chronic condition support by complementing medications, surgical interventions, or physical rehabilitation programs.

Common Conditions Helped by Chiropractic Care
Proper chiropractic adjustments can provide immense relief to animals struggling with various pains and discomforts. This care can relieve pain for pets in the neck and back, help heal hip dysplasia, assist with post-surgical recovery, and can mitigate discomfort caused by gait irregularities or lameness.
Pet owners should also stay on the lookout for potential symptoms that show their animal may be in need of adjustments. This can include difficulty rising or standing, limpness, stiffness, lethargy, or frequent yelping or flinching.
Diagnostic Techniques & Evaluation
At our clinic, we conduct detailed diagnostic testing in addition to chiropractic treatments. These may include a detailed assessment of each pet’s spine and joints, physical examinations, range-of-motion tests, and imaging such as X-rays.
Understanding each pet’s underlying issues helps vets determine the best course of action when it comes to each animal’s treatment and chiropractic adjustments.
Treatment & Management Strategies
Therapy sessions with animals at our clinic involve gentle and precise manipulations, stretching, joint adjustments, and rehabilitation exercises that support alignment. While it’s never recommended to perform at-home chiropractic adjustments, our team may send owners home with some recommended stretching exercises, environmental modifications, or other changes that may improve their condition.
Regular check-ups are also a crucial part of long-term chiropractic care. As your pet’s condition evolves, veterinarians can adjust their treatments to match up with the pet’s evolving needs.
