 If you know that your animal is cooperative for both chiropractic and acupuncture treatments, either by working with another practitioner or through work with Dr. Bacon, you may want to choose this combination. If you are unsure if your animal will allow both, either due to level of pain, needle sensitivity, or inability to stand for long periods of time, please do not pick this option as a large block of time is given to these appointments. Some animal’s personalities need more time than others!

Please fill out appropriate client forms at least 48 hours prior to your appointment for these appointments to run smoothly and efficiently for the benefit of everyone. If you paperwork is not filled out, time must be taken to get that information at your appointment, which takes away from your animal’s focused evaluation time
