Animal Chiropractic Course Information

The need for Chiropractic care for a vast range of animals is fast growing, particularly with the growing awareness of Manipulative therapies , and their benefits, not only by animal owners, but also by professional trainers, managers & service providers to animals. Australia now offers the highest level of Animal Chiropractic training in the world, through RMIT University in Victoria.

In the past, crude forms of animal 'manipulation' have been used by untrained people, running a high risk of injury to the animal, not only due to the techniques themselves, but also the lack of training resulting in other conditions being undetected. Unfortunately, the unwary owner would easily be misled by those purporting to be "qualified" in their field. The RMIT course puts an end to this, ensuring the highest standard of Animal Chiropractic care is available. So be sure to ask if your practitioner is fully qualified.

Formal training and accreditation in Animal Chiropractic is only available in Australia through RMIT University in Melbourne, which is one of the three institutions providing human Chiropractic accreditation. The 2 year post-grad diploma, and 3 year Masters degree are only available to qualified, registered Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Veterinarians. The course has been running since 1998 and there are now about 150 qualified practitioners around the country & overseas.

The pre-requisite knowledge for veterinary chiropractic is extremely high, and thus the RMIT course is only available to applicants who are qualified and registered to practice as Veterinarians, Osteopaths or Chiropractors.
