HOLISTIC CARE When selecting a practitioner to perform “chiropractic” on your animal, please ask for their education and credentials. Animal chiropractic is not taught in any regular chiropractic or veterinary school currently – it is a post-graduate course. Please be cautious if selecting a practitioner who took a weekend seminar and who is not certified through the AVCA. Please visit www.avcadoctors.com to learn about education and certification and to find a certified doctor in your area. This site identifies those professionals who have met high, specific standards of knowledge and experience.

T h i s i s responding important as the AVCA is the only nationally recognized certification body in the country for animal chiropractors. Dr. Dina served on the AVCA’s Practice Standards Committee and helped to write and then administer the AVCA’s first national board, and has been an examiner on subsequent exams. Dr. Dina has also been a licensed chiropractor for humans since 1991. Dr. Dina is a leader in the legitimate field of animal chiropractic, both locally and nationally. She developed and has subsequently taught her own technique “ENERGYWORKS CHIROPRACTIC” to other certified veterinarians and chiropractors across the country for professional continuing education hours as well as the “INTENSE REVIEW PLUS” and “DOGS, DOGS, DOGS!” seminars. All of these seminars have been approved by the AVCA for re-certification hours necessary for doctors to keep their standing within the Association and the profession. Several years ago, she also was primarily responsible for creating and teaching the successful “INTRODUCTION TO COMPLEMENTARY CARE FOR THE VETERINARIAN” seminars. Dr. Dina traveled regularly to Cairo, Egypt, where she adjusted high-level competition horses (and yes, often their owners as well). The experience greatly enhanced her understanding and continuing appreciation for animal owners and lovers. A nationally recognized lecturer in the field of animal chiropractic, she has presented her own discoveries at the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, the Midwest Veterinary Conference and has been a keynote speaker several times at the annual American Veterinary Chiropractic Association’s annual conference. The well-received “Canine Massage for Your Dog” classes are always a sell-out! “I wanted to give owners something that they could do at home with their dog. This time is bonding, healing and rewarding for both dog and owner,” said Dr. LiVolsi. October 2013
In Pennsylvania, chiropractors who work with animals fall under the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Board of Veterinary Medicine. The board states that a chiropractor must have a veterinary referral from a vet who is on site and work under supervision.
