Chiropractic has been part of Western Health Care for over 100 years and is most often associated with the treatment of people for spinal and associated problems. 
It has been proven to be very effective, safe and successful over this time. What is little known is that Chiropractic is very effective for the treatment of similar conditions in animals. Animals that come for chiropractic care in association with veterinary referral are given a full history and examination to decide suitability of care. We then employ the appropriate gentle low force chiropractic care, usually using an instrument called an activator which research has shown to be effective on animals.
Michael works from his practice where he has both human and animal visitors, he has 9 years of experience in the treatment of animals and has worked within veterinary practices in Perth for 5 years.
These exercises appear to consistently reverse the process of defense physiology, spinal distortion and the disconnection that hinders the progression in chiropractic care. They can provide the acute patient with a tool to help dispel fear and encourage trust in the body or his/her experience of the body. The exercises can also be helpful to the practitioner in communicating the brain/body/emotion/stress connection.
Each of the exercises in a series of twelve represents a unique state of awareness and different somatic-respiratory rhythm. As an individual advances in his/her own healing journey, there are exercises to support that growth and development. For those seeking evolutionary strategies for the future of their practices, look no further; Somato Respiratory IntegrationTM exercises lie waiting to serve you.

- Lameness

At the time of initial examination, a protocol of care will be established. The average attendance is about 3 to 4 visits, however this varies depending on the diagnosed condition.
