Dr. Katie S. King
Certified Veterinary Chiropractor
Chiropractic can be used in veterinary medicine for various reasons from easing pain to giving athletic pets an edge by helping to keep their bodies tuned. For some pets, the benefits of chiropractic are immediate and visible. Chiropractors carefully manipulate joints to restore correct alignment, which is believed to improve nerve function throughout the body. Through examination, practitioners aim to identify and then treat subluxations, or misalignments of joints. These misalignments result in a change in nerve function, which may present as limping, behavior changes, and/or pain.
All pets can benefit from chiropractic care as with a complete physical exam. Healthy, normal sport or working pets can benefit from chiropractic as a tool for helping to reach peak performance. Older animals can achieve possible reduction in pain level and increased mobility, leading to a better quality of life.
Dr. King is at Palos Animal Hospital on Wednesdays and by appointment only. Please call (708) 955-1884 to schedule your pet's appointment.
