Treatments

McTimoney treatment can help relieve an animal's pain and restore movement after they've injured themselves. In the vast majority of cases, McTimoney practitioners see animals that have suffered injury due to a trauma such as an accident, fall, bump or collision. However, problems can be caused by a number of other issues including excess weight, conformation defects, incorrect foot balance, saddle fitting issues, or rider imbalance. In addition, the McTimoney approach can be used as a preventative measure to maintain health and performance or in ensuring an animal has no problems after it has given birth.

Veterinary Consent

The treatment of animals is currently regulated under the Veterinary Act 1966. The Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 1962 authorises manipulative therapies such as those used by McTimoney animal practitioners providing they practice with the prior consent of the animals veterinary surgeon. Jenny works closely with your vet to ensure a safe, appropriate and effective treatment takes place.

*Note* Under current legislation, the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) regulates the chiropractic treatment of humans. Only practitioners that are registered with the GCC can legally call themselves Chiropractors and treat members of the public. Animal practitioners are not able to join the GCC as it is only concerned with human treatment. The use of the word McTimoney to describe the animal treatment DOES NOT imply that practitioners are chiropractors.
