Animal Chiropractic for Growing and Aging Pets
Just like humans, pets experience changes in their musculoskeletal system throughout their lives. Animal chiropractic care plays a vital role in supporting healthy growth in young pets and maintaining mobility and comfort in aging companions.
Supporting Growing Pets
During the rapid development phases of puppies, kittens, and foals proper skeletal alignment is crucial. Chiropractic adjustments help to:
Ensure correct joint and spine alignment as their bodies mature.
Enhance nerve function to support healthy muscle development.
Prevent future musculoskeletal problems caused by misalignment or injury.
Promote proper posture for active, playful pets.
Early chiropractic care can set the foundation for a strong, balanced, and agile adult pet, reducing the risk of chronic issues later in life.
Maintaining Mobility in Aging Pets
As pets age, arthritis, joint stiffness, and decreased flexibility become common. Animal chiropractic focuses on:
Reducing pain by alleviating joint pressure and muscle tension.
Improving circulation and nerve function to enhance overall mobility.
Increasing comfort and quality of life by minimizing stiffness.
Supporting rehabilitation from injuries or surgeries.
Regular chiropractic adjustments can help senior pets remain active and comfortable, slowing the progression of degenerative conditions.
Customized Care for Every Stage
At Sunny Rock Chiropractic, we tailor each treatment plan to your pet’s unique needs, whether they are energetic puppies or graceful seniors. Our goal is to support your pet’s optimal health through every phase of their life, ensuring they move freely and live happily.
Investing in animal chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive way to promote lifelong wellness for your beloved pets.
Chiropractic Care for the Performance Horse and Sport Dog

Enhanced Muscle Function: By addressing nerve interference, chiropractic care supports balanced muscle tone and reduces tension, leading to smoother, more efficient movement.
Injury Prevention: Regular chiropractic assessments help detect early signs of musculoskeletal imbalances before they become severe injuries.
Faster Recovery: For horses recovering from training strains or competitions, chiropractic treatments can accelerate healing and reduce downtime.
Benefits for the Sport Dog
Increased Flexibility and Agility: Alignments improve joint function and range of motion, vital for agility, obedience, and other canine sports.
Pain Relief: Adjustments help alleviate pain caused by repetitive stress, minor injuries, or degenerative conditions.
Optimized Nervous System Function: Chiropractic care enhances nerve communication, which is essential for coordination and response during physical activity.

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to health that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those affecting the spine. By using hands-on spinal manipulation and other manual techniques, chiropractors aim to restore mobility, reduce pain, and enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself. This form of care not only addresses pain and discomfort but also emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper alignment and function within the nervous system, which can lead to improved overall health and wellness. Through careful assessment and personalized treatment plans, chiropractic care supports the body's inherent capacity for self-regulation and healing, making it an essential component of comprehensive health management.

“We have used Leanne Parker with Sunny Rock Chiropractor for several of our horses with great results. I not only appreciate Leanne for her knowledge of the skeletal and muscular systems of the horse but also for her understanding of horse behavior and movement. She’s a “horse person”. She is calm around the horses and genuinely cares about her patients. She spends plenty of time explaining the problem areas, adjustments made, and a treatment plan. We highly recommend her.

“As someone who has worked with her professionally and personally, I definitely recommend Dr Parker. I have used other chiropractors for my dog, and Dr Parker stood out. She is very gentle and patient. She listens to all of your concerns and explains her findings to you. Dr Parker helped keep my dog mobile in her senior years. When other treatments didn't help, she was able to give her some pain relief. We are very greatful for her.” -Kelsey & Zoey-

“Dr. Parker has worked with our German Shepherd Major (diagnosed with severe stenosis). She has such a calm demeanor which is so helpful for our dog. Major will have episodes where his two back legs have minimal function and we always see a difference after he has a visit with Dr. Parker. Her care has helped our beloved dog so much. I also trust her knowledge and have asked her clinical opinion on several things for Major after seeing our vet. I highly recommend her!” -The Brody Family & Major-
