Chiropractic for Animals in Milford
Your fur baby is a cherished member of the family. When they’re uncomfortable or having a difficult time moving, it affects everyone at home. At Palmer Family Chiropractic, Dr. Palmer brings over two decades of experience helping dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and other companions find relief through specialized animal chiropractic care. Since completing her animal chiropractic degree in 2003, Dr. Palmer has focused on improving quality of life for animals with joint discomfort, mobility challenges, and performance issues.
Understanding Animal Chiropractic Care
Like humans, animals experience stress on their joints and nervous systems that can lead to discomfort and reduced mobility. Animal chiropractic care gently adjusts the spine and joints to restore proper movement, reduce pressure on the nervous system, and encourage the body’s natural healing. Dr. Palmer uses gentle hand manipulations and, when appropriate, instrument-assisted techniques so care is both effective and comfortable. Many pets quickly learn how much better they feel and look forward to their visits.
Cold laser therapy is especially helpful for knee conditions, disc issues, and some skin problems. For animals needing frequent laser care, we offer rentals and train owners in safe, effective home use.
Conditions We Address
We care for working dogs, sport and agility animals, special-needs pets, and those who just want to maintain healthy movement. We help animals with the following:
- Back and neck discomfort
- Joint issues
- Hip dysplasia
- Disc problems
- Senior movement challenges
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first appointment includes a health history plus chiropractic, neurologic, and orthopedic examinations. Dr. Palmer then performs your pet’s first adjustment and provides home care instructions, which may include massage, range-of-motion exercises, stretches, or laser recommendations.
For everyone’s safety, pets who may be unpredictable or prone to nipping should be muzzle-trained and comfortable wearing one.
