What does VSMT or animal chiropractic care do?
When an animal chiropractor examines a patient, they are looking for joints with a reduced range of motion.  Many people have a concept of the “bone out of place theory”.  It is very common for clients to have heard of specific joints being “out”.  We avoid that terminology, because we feel it gives you an inaccurate picture of what we are doing.  As opposed to the joint actually being “out of place”, the joint is instead restricted in its optimal range of motion.  These “stuck” joints are corrected with a chiropractic adjustment.  The goal of any adjustment is to restore the optimal range of motion to that joint, which will subsequently alleviate pressure on surrounding nerves and soft tissue.
