Appointment Request Form

Dr Sherrie Nugent is a fully qualified, registered and insured human and animal Chiropractor. Animal Chiropractic, just like chiropractic for humans, is mainly concerned with the nervous system and with the function of joints, especially those of the spine. The spine surrounds and protects the spinal cord, which is the part of the nervous system that connects the brain with the rest of the body.

If there is abnormal movement or positioning of spinal joints (also known as misalignments), there is usually a disruption to the local nerve traffic which can result in symptoms such as pain, spasm, weakness, lameness, incoordination etc. Animal chiropractors are trained to locate and correct this dysfunction, restoring the proper functioning of the nervous system. The most common method used is by applying a chiropractic adjustment. This is a gentle, safe and effective technique.

Chiropractors will also often use soft tissue techniques, like massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and stretches to help release spasm and increase range of motion. Chiropractors may also treat other joints in the body, such as hips, shoulders, stifles (knees), hocks etc. Give advice on life style adaptations and exercises to assist with rehabilitation to assist with progress. Where a condition cannot be attributed to a biomechanical cause the patient will be referred to a vet.

Qualified Animal Chiropractors in Australia have graduated from a minimum of a 5 year degree in Chiropractic, Osteopathy or Veterinary science, followed by a 2 year Graduate Diploma in Animal Chiropractic (RMIT) or in Animal Biomechanical Medicine (BHI).
