Dr. Kami Vickerman offers chiropractic care at the hospital or on ambulatory visits. Dr. Vickerman received her postgraduate animal chiropractic training at Animal Chiropractic Education Source (A.C.E.S.) in Meridian, Texas. She then achieved certification in animal chiropractic by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) in September 2019; AVCA certification is voluntary and requires re-certification every 3 years in an effort to promote life-long continual improvement.

 

Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to pet health care. It deals with the nervous system housed inside the spinal column and treats neuromusculoskeletal function or dysfunction. It can be a great tool that can be used in conjunction with our traditional therapies for lameness and other conditions. It can also be used to help maintain health and soundness. After a chiropractic adjustment, you will receive instructions on post-adjustment care including stretches, exercise, and home therapy recommendations. If you have any questions about chiropractic, Dr. Vickerman would be happy to answer them.
