Treatment sessions
Please note
When booking a first session, you will be asked to gain veterinary consent for treatment.
Under the Veterinary Surgeons Act (1966), an owner must consult their veterinary surgeon prior to any other person treating their animal.
Aftercare advice
Following treatment, aftercare advice for the next few days is given. This will nearly always involve 2-3 days rest post-treatment, with a gradual return to work over the following 5-7 days. It is important to factor this in when scheduling appointments during competition seasons or around training sessions.
Reaction to treatment can vary as all animals are individual. For the first couple of days an animal may be more chilled or more energetic, have increased thirst or hunger, or be less interested in food.
Your animal may immediately look freer moving or alternatively look a little stiff for one or two days. These are all normal reactions to McTimoney chiropractic treatment while the animal’s body is going through its own adjustment and healing process. This is why the initial 2-3 days of rest are important.
McTimoney chiropractic adjustments enable the animal’s body to utilise its innate healing intelligence to realign and heal, rather than forcing an immediate change to happen. So while in some cases benefits can often be seen immediately, or within a few days of treatment, in others, the benefits of the treatment may be more gradual as it relies on the individual’s response time.
