Pet Chiropractic

Just like humans, pets can benefit from chiropractic care. This treatment focuses on aligning the spine and joints to improve mobility and reduce pain. Whether your pet has arthritis, reduced range of motion, or general stiffness, veterinary chiropractic care can help them move more comfortably and feel better overall.

Therapy

Animal Chiropractic is a medical therapy that is used to maintain the health and normal functioning of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. It follows the same principles and practice as chiropractic medicine in people.

In general, chiropractic treatments or adjustments correct subluxations. A subluxation is defined as a partial dislocation of the joints where the articular surfaces are still in contact with each other, but are misaligned. Subluxations commonly occur in the spine secondary to acute injury, over-exertion and chronic orthopedic disease, but can affect other joints as well. Subluxations can cause poor performance, stiffness, pain, decreased flexibility and function of the muscles and nerves. 

Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation

Dr. Gordon is certified in VOM (Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation) and adjusts pets with the use of an instrument called an "activator". It is a quick, simple and painless way to do a chiropractic adjustment and most pets are not bothered by the procedure.

"We recently traveled from Palm Springs to have our 15 y.o. pup receive specialized treatments for her arthritis from Doctor Gordon and his team at Arch Beach. We really appreciated his willingness to do the consult and procedure in the same day given our geographic challenges.In speaking with others in the reception area, we weren't the only ones who made the drive for the outstanding care here. Without exception, everyone we encountered in two visits was compassionate, gracious, and conscientious. I only wished we lived closer and this could be our full-time vet.We took note of how present Dr. Gordon is with each of his patients and their families, making it a point to check in with you, even if you're just there for a moment. Sadly, encountering folks who still really care about what they do is too rare these days; it was deeply appreciated. Thank you to the entire Arch Beach team, with love from Scout!"
