Abstract
Properly applied animal chiropractic (AC) can be safe and effective. Only licensed health care professionals who have completed extensive postgraduate training should offer AC. By providing AC, veterinarians can help their patients achieve the highest level of function, independence, and quality of life possible. In this article, we have described AC as a valuable modality that, by improving afferent input and positive modulation of the ventral horn cells and their efferent motor neurons, can positively affect patient strength, stability, and mobility. Therefore, improved conditioning, performance, and postoperative recoveries can enhance patient outcomes by including AC in veterinary practice.
