Joint Manipulation
Some appointments, dry needling might not be required or isn't the right treatment for your pet. I will assess joint mobility and decide which combination of treatment suits your animal that day.
​
If both dry needling and mobilisation is the best for your dog, I will provide the dry needling first and give your animal a bit of a massage followed by an adjustment of joints (usually along the spine) to further help loosen any tight areas and allow for more range of motion.

Joint manipulation might sound scary, but it is a fairly gentle application of pressure to a specific area to allow the joint space to widen and improve blood flow and flexibility.
​
A lot of my patients become very excited after an adjustment, bouncing and giving kisses to say thank you.

Most patients leave with a spring in their step and happy parents.
