Animal Chiropractic Care in Tulsa, OK

What Is Animal Chiropractic?

Animal Chiropractic is the science, art, and philosophy concerned with good health through restoration and maintenance of a properly functioning neuromusculoskeletal system, without the use of drugs or surgery. Animal Chiropractic care is a manual therapy, which can be used for many health and performance problems. It focuses on the biomechanical dysfunction of the spine and its effect on the entire nervous system throughout the body. Animal Chiropractic treatment does not replace traditional veterinary medicine; however, it can provide additional means of diagnosis and treatment options for spinal problems as well as biomechanical related musculoskeletal disorders. Animal Chiropractic can often eliminate the source of acute or chronic pain syndromes.

What New Practice Members Can Expect

Here's what you can expect as a new practice member, from your first visit through ongoing care.

First Appointment

We respect your time, so prior to your first appointment we will have you fill out your New Practice Member paperwork for your animal(s) and submit it online so that we can make the most of your time at your visit. Dr. Carley will review the paperwork and health goals that you have for your animal(s) with you before beginning her comprehensive exam. This exam includes reviewing any previous x-rays if applicable, gait and posture analysis, a musculoskeletal exam, as well as static and motion palpation of the spine and extremities. After this consultation and examination, Dr. Carley will perform gentle and specific manual adjustments to your animal's spine and extremities to correct any subluxations present. She will work with you to establish a care plan unique to your animal's needs and goals.

Visit Frequency

The frequency of adjustments will vary from case to case. There are conditions that require once every other week adjustments and others that only require adjustments once every 4-8 weeks. Chiropractic adjustments are retraining the nervous system to support the spine and body in maintaining a new optimal state of health. All of the supporting ligaments, muscles, and tendons are changing and adapting as well. This process takes time and repetition!

Pricing

Adjustment prices vary by animal and are as follows:

Initial Visit Small Animal: $65

Initial Visit Large Animal: $120

Subsequent Visits Small Animal: $50

Subsequent Visits Large Animal: $100

Farm / Barn Visit Fees:

Farm and Barn visit fees may apply and will be addressed when scheduling.

Payment Policy:

Payment is due in full at time of service.

Payments accepted: Cash, Check, or Credit/Debit Card

New Practice Member Form

Your New Practice Member paperwork will be provided for you to complete prior to your first appointment so we can make the most of your visit. Please contact us to receive your form, and reach out with any questions.

Should the adjustment make a "popping" sound?

No. Most animal chiropractic adjustments will not make a cavitation (popping) sound. Animal chiropractic adjustments should look uneventful and gentle. The absence of a cavitation during your animal's adjustment is NORMAL. We do not force joints to make noise and their spinal anatomy is not built to cavitate. The more noise you hear is not indicative of a better adjustment; in fact, if a forceful adjustment is delivered it could be potentially damaging to your animal's joints.

What are some factors that can cause these subluxations?

Excess weight

Arthritis

Genetic/anatomic predisposition

Previous physical trauma

Emotional distress

Poor nutrition

Medication(s)/Antibiotics

Overuse injuries
