Trauma, overuse, or underuse may cause the vertebra of the spine to become fixed, and the surrounding muscles and ligaments may become compromised and inflamed. This can directly and dramatically impact your animal’s health. Symptoms of spinal fixation are vast, and may include pain, spasm, sensitivity to touch, lameness, gait abnormalities and postural compromise. These are the symptoms that are the easiest to detect.

The goal of an animal chiropractor is to restore function and mobility to the compromised vertebra in an effort to re-establish neurologic transmissions. This allows the body to perform at its optimum potential. Dr. Battistella will use her hands to identify areas of restriction; and once identified, she applies a precise thrust on the immobile anatomical structures. This treatment restores the normal motion of the vertebra thus removing neurological interference. When the nerves can efficiently communicate with all the structures in your animals’ bodies, they will begin to heal from within. Chiropractic is an effective and valuable means of restoring and maintaining your pet's strength, vigor and well-being. And by exploring and treating the root causes of your animal’s aches, pains, and illnesses, we can ensure maximum improvement, top performance, and an exceptional quality of life for the animal companions you love.
