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

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.

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.
