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 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
Chiropractic adjustments help align the spine and joints, potentially reducing pain, stiffness, and inflammation in pets. Regular chiropractic sessions for certain animals may also improve their range of motion, posture, and even performance in active or athletic animals. Senior pets with arthritis may particularly benefit from chiropractic care, as do animals with musculoskeletal imbalances.
Alternatively, improper chiropractic care can cause more harm than good for animals. When performed by non-professionals, attempts at chiropractic care could lead to an increased risk of injury or worsen pre-existing conditions. That’s why it is essential to have pet chiropractic care performed by a licensed veterinary professional or chiropractor.

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.
