Meet, Dr. Kim Adie, DC, cAVCA. She is the Co-Director of the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre and a respected instructor and leader in the animal chiropractic profession. She will also be leading the upcoming CE course- Advanced Canine Techniques.
She recently celebrated her 30th year in practice, with the past 15 years dedicated to providing animal musculoskeletal care through FullStride Animal Chiropractic Services in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario. Dr. Adie is currently completing her Master’s @ Ontario Tech U, where she is studying the effects of chiropractic care on dogs’ functional and gait outcomes. In her spare time (if she has any!), she volunteers for the Humane Society Kawartha Lakes, where she proudly serves as Board Chair. Passionate about animal care, research, and advocacy work, she enjoys spending downtime with her Australian Kelpies and office cat, Daisy—keeping her on her toes (and occasionally, her desk)!
Here at VCLC we pride ourselves in being actively involved in innovative initiatives and research. We have had the pleasure of including the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College Research team, led by Dr. Starmer. Using their force sensing technology, students receive objective and quantitative feedback, as it relates to patient safety and quality control.
Attention CCO members‼️
Remember to complete the short email survey (2 questions) from the CCO regarding animal chiropractic. Deadline: Monday July 15.

Did you know that a career in animal chiropractic equips you with the unique skills to help not just athletic and aging animals but also newborns? This specialized field of chiropractic care is a fascinating blend of science and art, offering a unique approach to animal musculoskeletal health care.
Contrary to a common misconception, chiropractic care is not limited to adult animals with fully formed bones and joints. Chiropractors are trained to address myofascial restrictions, which can be present in animal patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors.
Meet Neon, a 2-day-old Golden Retriever puppy who was not gaining weight compared to her littermates. During birth, Neon spent an extended time in the birth canal and had to be pulled out. The owner was concerned that little Neon was sore and perhaps wasn’t nursing efficiently due to the difficult delivery. (NB: The mother was vet-checked after giving birth and is healthy and content).
A spinal assessment was performed to check for areas of restriction. Significant chiropractic findings included greater tension through the right side of the neck compared to the left and at the base of the skull. Treatment included gentle jaw and neck myofascial release and gentle traction.
The owner excitedly reported documented weight gain the next day. Just look at the spike in weight gain after treatment (on day 3- graph in comments)!

Don’t we know it! 💞
We all love animals. And more than half of Ontarians have a pet in the family. As our furry family members age, they can experience spine, muscle, and joint pain, just like us.
-----
Did you know that chiropractors can also treat animals?
-----
Animal chiropractors specialize in providing a safe and effective hands-on approach to many spine, muscle or joint issues and injuries in pets and large animals - including horses, dogs and cats. For example, animal chiropractors work with competitive animals who are training for agility, flyball, frisbee, or in working roles, such as herding, field trials or tracking.
Animal chiropractic doesn’t replace traditional veterinary medicine or surgery but provides an integrative method of care. Often, veterinarians and animal chiropractors work together to best serve the needs of your pet or a larger animal.
