What is Animal Chiropractic?

Animal Chiropractic is a holistic, non-invasive, drug-free treatment option for pets of all lifestyles.

From agility dogs and dressage horses, to your family pet we help all animals feel and function their best through Chiropractic care. Animal Chiropractors adjust the joints of animals, helping improve mobility and nervous system function, alleviate pain and improve overall function, performance and well being. Animals of all ages, breed and lifestyles can benefit from Chiropractic care.

Animal Chiropractic is not a replacement for traditional Veterinary care and is a complementary approach to the overall wellness of animals.

Our Philosophy

We believe that the role of an Animal Chiropractor is to correct spinal misalignments and optimize nervous system function,thus supporting the body’s innate ability to health. My role is to work with the animal’s body and help facilitate the restoration of balance and optimize function of the nervous system. This can have many benefits for the overall health, function, and performance of animal patients.

My goal is to complement the work of veterinarians. By working together, we can address musculoskeletal issues, improve mobility, propel performance & enhance the overall well-being of our animal patients. I strive to provide gentle, safe & effective Chiropractic care that helps animals & their owners live healthier & happier lives.

Meet Dr. Jen

Dr. Jen Andrade, DC has always had a love for animals. As a young girl, she wanted to be a veterinarian but soon discovered that included having to euthanize animals, which she didn’t have the heart for so she pursued another career path. Things came full circle for Dr. Jen when she decided to combine her passion for Chiropractic and animals and became an Animal Chiropractor.

At Elevate Health Chiropractic, we believe that every animal deserves to live a pain-free, happy and active life. Dr. Jen Andrade, DC, a certified AVCA Animal Chiropractor, she is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of dogs and horses.

We understand that pets are family, and we treat each one with the care and attention they deserve. Our holistic approach utilizes full body Chiropractic adjustments, lifestyle modification and wellness exams to ensure that your pet not only feels better but also thrives.
