                            Welcome, let me give you a short personal explanation of how I became an animal chiropractor:
I have been a traditional vet for a long time I graduated from the University of Sydney in 1970 and began practice at Stirling in the Adelaide Hills in 1971. In those days 25% of the practice was made up of dog and cat breeders. One, Yo Bachelor, was a breeder of dachsunds (dogs with back problems galore) and an international judge of show dogs. I was young with a lot of book knowledge, she was older with a lot of practical knowledge.
. Yo insisted on taking her dogs to a human chiropractor when their backs gave way. I would smirk and tutt tutt and assure her she was wasting her money. I was just like any doctor who considers chiropractors to be quacks.
I built my practice and put a lot of time into the Australian Veterinary Association eventually becoming the National President,  I thought I was pretty important. When I finished being important I needed an interest and went to Melbourne to spend a week with a greyhound practice which was into physical therapies. When I came home I tried some "tricks" on dogs and cats with sore backs and to my surprise they seemed to help.
