Happy Hogs, Healthy Spines: How Chiropractic Boosts Pig Performance on the Farm

When you think of chiropractic care, pigs might not be the first animal that comes to mind. But for Florida farmers, 4-H families, and those raising show pigs, keeping those curly-tailed athletes in peak condition is serious business. Enter Dr. Philip of Synchrony Chiropractic—a mobile animal chiropractor who’s been turning stiff swine into smooth movers across Ocala and beyond.

The Surprising Power of Chiropractic for Pigs

Pigs are smart, strong, and built for action—but the demands of farming environments and show circuits can take a toll. Whether it’s strain from rapid growth, hauling across counties, or intense training sessions, pigs can develop spinal and joint misalignments just like any other animal.

Dr. Philip, a seasoned Florida animal chiropractor, has helped pigs suffering from back stiffness, poor gait, or even behavioral changes. And let’s be honest—an unhappy pig is hard to ignore.

Real Benefits for Real Farm Animals

Proper spinal alignment supports everything from muscle development to organ function. For pigs in 4-H or FFA programs, chiropractic can mean:

  • Better movement and posture in the show ring

  • Improved feed efficiency due to reduced pain or stress

  • Faster recovery after transport or competition

  • A calmer demeanor, which makes grooming and handling safer for everyone

One Marion County 4-Her noticed their show pig, Buster, walking awkwardly and resisting touch along his back. After two visits with Dr. Philip, Buster was strutting confidently and scoring points with the judges—no bacon jokes necessary.

Why Mobile Care Makes a Difference

Farmers are busy folks, and pigs don’t exactly love car rides. That’s why Synchrony Chiropractic offers mobile services directly to your barn, pen, or show prep area. Dr. Philip brings years of experience in large animal chiropractic and works with both show families and commercial operations to develop realistic care plans.

His visits are fast, friendly, and focused—tailored to the animal’s anatomy and the handler’s goals.

Invest in Performance and Welfare

If you’ve got pigs on your property—whether for market, show, or breeding—don’t overlook their spinal health. A well-adjusted pig isn’t just happier; they perform better, behave better, and bounce back quicker.
