FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE East Peoria, IL — The Academy for the Advancement of Animal Chiropractic...
What we do
Our Organization
Coming Soon!
When our board first came together, it was, as it still is, our desire to advance animal chiropractic. Although we have successfully done this by offering the largest online platform for animal chiropractic continuing education, we felt we needed to do more. Over the last several years, it has been apparent that gaps in advancement still exist and the desire to provide enhanced support for animal chiropractors worldwide has not wavered.
We are excited to announce a strategic redirection from solely offering continuing education to providing comprehensive resources that assist animal chiropractors as they complete certification and transition into practice and beyond!

Animal Chiropractic Notes
How do you adjust a horse? you’re so small!
Whenever my human patients discover that I adjust animals, particularly horses, they want to know how in the world do I adjust something so big when I am so small? I obviously jump on a trampoline and do a flying elbow drop off the top ropes. Seriously though, I never thought in a million years that I would be consciously using Physics daily. Think of it, you need a specific angle for your line of drive, the speed has to be fast enough to generate the right amount of force to move the bone, and you have to stand the right distance away from the object you’re adjusting. Anyone have their Physics cheat sheets handy?!
I’ve never seen this before, but theoretically this will work.
Imagine it’s the Monday before a long weekend and your colleague calls to ask for your help with a life or death situation. You quietly pause and remind her that you are a Chiropractor and you don’t deal with these situations. She begins to tell you the story of a surrendered 12 week old kitten that was found half paralyzed in a barn that morning. Since she was the new owner and treating Veterinarian, it was her decision when to euthanize this kitten. She said you have until Friday to make this kitten walk again, otherwise she would be euthanized. No pressure; but I don’t even like cats.
