International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA)

The International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA) is a professional organization dedicated to promoting the safe and effective use of chiropractic techniques for animals, mainly horses, dogs, and cats. Veterinary chiropractors are trained to assess and treat musculoskeletal issues—like back or joint problems—that can affect an animal’s mobility, comfort, and overall health. The IVCA sets standards for education and practice, ensuring practitioners are well-qualified. Their goal is to enhance animal well-being through manual therapy, working alongside veterinarians to provide holistic care for animals with movement-related health concerns.
