When most people think of chiropractic care for animals, they picture horses or maybe dogs.
But what about pigs?

Yes—even pigs (including your pot-bellied couch potato or sassy barnyard escape artist) can benefit from chiropractic care.
And no, we’re not joking.

Whether they’re rooting through the backyard, waddling down your hallway, or recovering from a recent injury, pigs can and do experience musculoskeletal issues—just like any other animal.

Let’s talk about why that matters and how we help.

🐷 Tater Tot’s Story: From Chicken Feeder Mishap to Chiropractic Success

Meet Tater Tot—a 4-month-old piglet with a personality as big as her name.

She recently got her head stuck in a chicken feeder (don’t ask), and afterward, her owners noticed she wasn’t walking quite right. She was stiff, uncomfortable, and clearly not her usual adventurous self.

While another provider was helping with laser and PEMF therapy, we were called in to assess her spine.

After just one gentle adjustment—tailored specifically for her size and species—Tater Tot started showing signs of improvement. Her posture shifted, she moved with more ease, and we could see she was finally getting some relief.

💡 How Do Pigs Get Hurt in the First Place?

You’d be surprised how common pig injuries actually are—especially in:

• Pet pigs kept indoors or on tile/hard floors

• Young piglets exploring areas they probably shouldn’t be

• Rescue pigs recovering from poor nutrition or abuse

• Farm pigs who experience repetitive strain or pen-related trauma

Common issues we see:

• Slipping or falling injuries

• Head or neck trauma from rooting or getting stuck

• Stiffness or limping

• Reduced mobility or “lazy” movement

• Behavioral changes due to discomfort

Just like dogs or cats, pigs have spinal joints, hips, shoulders, and a nervous system that can become restricted or misaligned. When that happens, they hurt—and they compensate.

🧠 What Does a Pig Chiropractic Adjustment Look Like?

First off—yes, we’ve been trained to handle all sorts of animals, including pigs.
We evaluate their spine, hips, and movement patterns the same way we would any other species—but with techniques modified for their anatomy and temperament.

Adjustments are gentle, precise, and based on what that specific pig needs. We may also use Cold Laser or PEMF therapy to reduce inflammation and support recovery.

And trust us—pigs LOVE bodywork once they realize how much better they feel afterward.

🩺 Chiropractic for Pigs: Not Just for Emergencies

While many pig owners call us when something’s wrong, preventative care can make a huge difference.

Chiropractic can help:

• Keep joints mobile and comfortable

• Prevent injury from slips, falls, or weight imbalance

• Improve nerve function and digestion

• Support overall wellness, mood, and movement

This is especially important for overweight pigs, senior pigs, or those recovering from injury or illness.
