What Is Animal Chiropractic & How Do You Know When Your Pet Needs It?

At Panhandle Animal Chiropractic, Dr. Travis Tillman provides gentle, drug-free chiropractic care for animals of all sizes—dogs, cats, horses, and more.

Animal chiropractic focuses on the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain and spinal cord and is housed within the skull and spine. This vital system controls and coordinates every function of your pet’s body, from muscles and joints to organs and movement.

When a spinal misalignment (called a subluxation) occurs, your animal’s nervous system may not function at its best.

If your dog, cat, horse, or other animal shows any of the below signs, it may be time to schedule a consultation with Dr. Travis at Panhandle Animal Chiropractic:

Stiffness or lack of flexibility

Muscle soreness or sensitivity to touch

Lameness or changes in gait

Pain or reduced performance in working and sport animals

Behavioral changes or irritability

General health issues that don’t resolve with traditional care
