Exceptional Denver & Boulder Chiropractors at Zandi Chiropractic LLC
People are embracing new ways for their pets to maintain maximum health, thanks to the expanding field of animal chiropractic. You’ve come to the correct place if you’re looking for a Animal Chiropractic in Boulder or Denver.
Many animals build up chronic stress, which leads to injuries and health problems in the future. We often see extremity, spinal, jaw and tail issues with our four legged friends. The joints between vertebrae get jammed when they become immovable due to trauma, injury, or degenerative wear and tear, often harming the nerves in these congested locations. Chiropractic care focuses on the neurological system of the animal, which improves performance by enabling more structure and energy freedom, which promotes better biomechanics, health, and mental clarity. Allowing normal biomechanics to return ensures a higher quality of life for us and our animals.
Animal Chiropractic adjustments are generally well tolerated by pets and are considered safe.
We understand that bringing your injured animal to us isn’t the most efficient way to get medical help. That is why we are willing to travel to your location to care for your pet! We may work with you to develop a timetable tailored to your time defined intervals and distance, Whether you want to schedule a consultation or build a consistent plan for your animal’s long-term health and well-being, we can help.

Canine Chiropractic
Dogs are exceptional athletes who want to engage with and satisfy you. They, like humans, have spines and nerve systems that can become misaligned due to a variety of factors. Chiropractic care therapy is beneficial to dogs of all ages and activity levels. Because birth is the first significant trauma in an animal’s existence, examining the spine as soon as minutes after birth might help prevent the pup from growing and developing around an out-of-whack spine.
Athletes in their prime might benefit from frequent tweaks to maintain peak performance. Whether your dog’s duty is to be your companion around the home, accompany you on hikes or runs, assist you with responsibilities, compete in agility or breed events, and more, all of these activities can cause painful muscles, mental stress, and injuries, slowing down your faithful companion. Adjustments can help them recover faster and get back into the game sooner! Even older companion animals can benefit from chiropractic therapy to help them age healthily, halt degeneration, and stay as comfortable as possible as they age, resulting in a higher quality of life.
If you’re seeing any of the below symptoms in your dog, chiropractic therapy may be beneficial:
- Difficulty wagging tail
- Panting at inconvenient times or all night
- Getting up slowly
- Doesn’t want to play with you or the animals
- Dragging toes when walking.
- Hunched back
- Stairs become difficult to climb or descend.
- Reluctance in jumping
- Limping
- Difficulty Chewing
- Pain with shaking their heads
Feline Chiropractic
Cats are incredibly tough animals. If your kitty cat has a problem jumping up on or down from surfaces, it could be due to subluxation in the neck. Their range of motion may be limited, as her head may be slightly twisted.
Chiropractic care can readily correct this. Instrument-assisted chiropractic treatments, such as Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM), are particularly helpful in cats.
Subluxation complexes that start around the ninth thoracic vertebra and extend all the way to the sacrum are common in older cats (14 to 19 years old). This generally limits their activity at a later age. The subluxations that form around T-7-8-9 can disrupt the blood supply to the kidney, causing the animal’s renal function to deteriorate more quickly and shorten their lifetime by 3 to 5 years.
Kidney failure is the most prevalent reason for cats’ death due to “old age” in cats.
Cats who survived to reach 19 to 23 years old, on the other hand, had no vertebral subluxation complex in this location of their backs.
The following signs suggest that your cat might benefit from a chiropractic adjustment:
- Tenderness or pain
- Reduced activity
- Not doing what it used to do
- Fatigue or lethargy
- Lameness or uneven gait
- Avoiding human touch or engagement
- Changes in behavior, such as despair or hostility
- Decreased appetite
Because conditions might take time to manifest, you may not notice them if you are around your cat every day.
At least thrice a year, visits to your veterinarian and animal chiropractor are essential for diagnosing abnormalities and preventing significant health issues.
Equine Chiropractic
Horses are incredible athletes who put in a lot of effort to give you precisely what you want. They, like us, have spines and nerve systems that can become misaligned due to a variety of factors. Chiropractic care is beneficial to equine athletes and performance horses of all ages and disciplines.
Because birth is the first significant trauma in an animal’s life, examining the spine as soon as possible after delivery might prevent the foal from growing and developing around a misaligned spine.
Athletes in their prime can benefit from regular tweaks in order to maintain peak performance. Sore muscles, emotional tension, injuries caused by lesson horses, pleasure shows, endurance races, rodeo events, and other activities can slow a horse down.
If you see any of the following symptoms in your horse, chiropractic therapy may be beneficial:
- Behavioral changes
- Unable to do things that were formerly routine
- Shaking of the head
- Inability to take or maintain a lead
- Being unable to bend
- Pain in the back, neck, or ribs
- Refusing to jump
- Dragging of toe
- Unequal distribution of muscle
- Hunched back
- Fussy when saddle is being tightened
- Stiff gait
- Range of motion deficits
- Uneven Pelvis when looking from the back
- Understepping gait
Please call 303-499-0225 to speak with Dr. Sepehr Zandi to see if your pet/animal is a good fit for chiropractic. You can also directly schedule an appointment online if you plan to visit the clinic.

Doctors can be certified to practice chiropractic on animals in one of two ways. One is a chiropractor who has added animal certification to their credentials and is now a certified animal chiropractor (CAC).
The other is a trained veterinary spinal manipulative therapist who is a veterinarian who has completed the additional animal chiropractic qualification (CVSMT). It’s critical to be sure the animal chiropractor you’re considering has completed the required training and is certified through an AVCA or CoAC-approved school.
