Animal Biomechanical Medicine
Animal Biomechanical Medicine combines chiropractic, physio and rehabilitation assessment and treatments for your dog and cat to primarily improve outcomes in musculoskeletal disorders. It utilises a gentle approach to manual medicine and is applicable for pets young and old. The three aspects of ABM - Chiropractic, Osteopathy and Rehabilitation - have a syngergistic effect on the health of dogs and cats.
The Animal Biomechanical Course is a unique two year (980 hours) course taught exclusively to professionals who are either Veterinarians, Chiropractors or Osteopaths who intend to treat dogs, cats and horses. The association has ongoing education and new information and techniques are shared freely between the three professions. Most techniques that are used by Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physiotherapists can be used on Dogs and Cats.
Animal Biomechanical Medicine should always be especially considered in elderly dogs and cats. The chiropractic and physiotherapy techniques may also be helpful for dogs and cats whose recovery from surgery is not progressing.
