Animal Chiropractic is a field of animal health care that focuses on the preservation and health of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system.

Same as with people, nerves control everything and anything adversely affecting the nervous system will have detrimental effects that will resonate throughout the entire body. Because animals can not tell us where it hurts, it is important to be familiar with movement patterns and behaviors that may indicate that they are experiencing pain or stiffness. Additionally, when neuro-musculo-skeletal issues are left unattended, it will ultimately impact your animal’s entire wellbeing and quality of life.

Dr. Jill has experience caring for animals since 2010. Dr. Jill is sought out by many animal owners that were recommended surgery for their pet’s disc and nerve injuries. Many have made complete recoveries with just the neurological chiropractic care that is practiced at Easthampton Chiropractic. Our office is often referred to for a lesser invasive and more affordable option as well as for preventative care.

Wesley’s Journey: From Immobility to Play

The Challenge

Wesley came to Easthampton Chiropractic facing a critical situation after falling off deck stairs. He was unable to use his hind legs, visibly hunched in pain, and was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease by his veterinarian.

The Turning Point

Instead of invasive surgery, his family sought a neurological chiropractic approach. Dr. Jill worked to restore communication between Wesley's brain and his nervous system, focusing on stimulating mechanoreceptors to inhibit pain and restore natural movement.

The Result

  • “Dr. Jill has treated both my dogs and horses. I love how visibly soft and comfortable my critters are after one of her treatments letting me know that they are feeling so much better. Thank you so much Dr. Jill for helping all my fur babies!"

    — Shelley W

  • “We have been patients of Dr. Jill for a dozen or more years. Our dogs compete in a variety of dog sports and she has kept them in tip top shape well into their senior years. Her kind and gentle nature puts even the most skittish dogs at ease during adjustments. Us humans are also patients as well. Highly recommended!”

    — Terry C

  • “Having Dr. Jill work on my horses was the best decision I ever made. There is no doubt that the older mare would not have been as comfortable and as active if she hadn’t had your expert chiropractic sessions. Your expertise and gentle ways always kept the horses calm and relaxed. ”

    — Elaine M

Understanding the Science of the Adjustment

Chiropractic care is about more than just "alignment"—it’s about communication. By gently mobilizing joints, we stimulate sensory receptors (mechanoreceptors) that talk directly to the brain. This process:

  • Reduces Pain: Stimulating these receptors naturally inhibits pain signals.

  • Improves Coordination: Better brain-to-body communication enhances balance and agility.

  • Restores Function: Proper movement patterns prevent future injury and wear-and-tear.

Elevating Your Animal’s Wellness Through Chiropractic Care

Just like humans, an animal’s health is rooted in their nervous system. When the neuro-musculo-skeletal system is aligned, the whole body thrives. Because our pets can’t tell us where it hurts, we look to their movement and behavior to understand their needs. At Easthampton Chiropractic, we provide specialized care to restore comfort, mobility, and a higher quality of life for your beloved companions.

Chiropractic is a powerful tool for animals of all stages—from elite athletes to aging seniors. We frequently help with:

  • Mobility Issues: Lameness, limping, and disc/joint problems.

  • Pain Management: Back, neck, tail, and jaw (TMJ) pain.

  • Recovery: Post-surgical care and healing from slips or falls.

  • Wellness: Enhancing performance for sport animals and comfort for geriatrics.

Note: We work in partnership with your primary veterinarian to ensure a comprehensive, "whole-picture" approach to your pet’s health.

Experience You Can Trust

Dr. Jill has been a dedicated advocate for animal health since 2010. Certified by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) and trained at Parker University, she combines deep clinical knowledge with a gentle touch.

Many of our patients come to us seeking non-invasive alternatives to surgery for disc and nerve injuries. Whether it’s preventative care or recovery from a serious injury, Dr. Jill’s neurological approach has helped countless animals achieve complete, drug-free recoveries.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic is one of the few modalities where results are often immediate, and are often seen within minutes of treatment. In general, improvements are defined as an improved gait and an apparent reduction in pain.

Your First Visit: What to Expect

Bringing your animal for a chiropractic adjustment is a gentle and collaborative process. Here is what you can expect during your initial appointment:

  • Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Jill begins by observing your animal’s gait and posture to identify subtle signs of discomfort or restricted movement.

  • Gentle Adjustments: Using specialized, low-force techniques, Dr. Jill will mobilize specific joints to restore proper neurological communication.

  • Immediate Feedback: Chiropractic is unique because results are often immediate; you may see an improved gait or a reduction in pain within minutes of the treatment.

  • A Stress-Free Environment: We prioritize a calm atmosphere to ensure even the most "skittish" or nervous animals feel at ease.
