Animal chiropractic is the practice of spinal manipulation or manual therapy for animals. Contrary to conventional medicine which deals with pathology, chiropractic therapies refer to a holistic medical approach which focuses on restoring homeostasis in the body and allows for the body to naturally heal itself (1).
