Chiropractic Assessment

Chiropractic assessment will usually tell you immediately whether problems are due to a misalignment between spinal or limb bones.

If it is, treatment will be able to correct this very quickly, simply with manipulation by hand. Vav will almost always treat your animal there and then, and usually need very few return visits to complete the treatment.

Chiropractic assessment examines the whole body to find the sources of the problem. These can sometimes be a long way away from the apparent site of the problem. This can help to solve mysteries, and together with the vet, miracles have been performed!

Other areas of misalignment can be found, that have not caused significant problems, may have contributed to an overall weakening of health and /or performance.

Vav prefers to visit the home to see your animal’s living conditions, which sometimes provides a clue about what is going wrong.

She will often watch your horse or dog walk and trot. She will then palpate the bones with her fingers, feeling for misalignments.

Even if you do not know what has caused the problem, Vav will be able to find any misalignments present, and may form a theory on what has happened. This helps her advise you to prevent the problem returning.

Before she treats your animals, Vav will explain what she has found and her plans.
