Animal Hospital at Brier Creek

In cases of acute or extreme pain, the doctor will often delay the complete adjustment until your companion can be relaxed. How often does my pet need to be adjusted It depends on the reason for the adjustment, and any additional therapies being undertaken (acupuncture, medications, physical therapy). If your pet has an acute injury, it may need weekly adjustments to start. In many geriatric patients, a visit every 4-6 weeks results in an improved quality of life. Healthy, young pets are often seen 3-4 times per year for maintenance. What are dr. Bigsby?s qualifications Dr. Bigsby became involved in chiropractic after a sports injury to herself. While qualifying for the boston marathon, she injured her iliotibial band. Thanks to chiropractic care, she made a full recovery, ran boston and continues to run marathons to this day. Dr. Bigsby attended the veterinary spinal manipulative therapy course at the healing oasis wellness center in wisconsin in 2002. She participated in 200 hours of intensive coursework in small animal and equine chiropractic. She then received further certification by passing the testing by the american veterinary chiropractic association. She has practiced chiropractic on a part-time basis since that time, incorporating it with her more traditional approach to veterinary medicine. Her passion is working with sporting dogs to achieve maximum athletic potential and helping our geriatric patients, who truly can benefit from regular adjustments.
