Re: [RC] Equine chiropractor Ohio - Dr. Liz Faletti, DCSusan's point is well taken. For anyone out there, always find a person who is thoroughly trained in animal chiropactic, either a chiropractor with special training in animals, or a veterinarian with chiropractic training. And yes, each state is different as to the laws. There are people out there who call themselves chiropractors (who are working on animals) who don't have licenses in anything approaching chiropractic or veterinary medicine. For the safety of our animals, we need to make sure that everyone goes by the same rules.

I don't remember their address.For veterinary chiropractors, http://www.avcadoctors.com/ For certified veterinary acupuncture (internat'l and US): http://www.komvet.at/ivadkom/vapsocs.htm#pract I would encourage everyone to try to find practitioners that are first veterinarians, or at least a DC that has done formal post-grad training in veterinary therapy. Although there are a lot of therapists that are very good that are not vets or DCs (I'm friends with at least one that I absolutely trust), there are also a lot of non-vets that have no business laying hands on an animal (and is often illegal to do so). If nothing else, a vet should presumably know when poking a needle in somewhere is likely to be safe, or likely to produce a collapsed lung. Just a caveat emptor thing.
