Animal Chiropractic Care at McLaughlin Center for Wellness - Knoxville, TN
At McLaughlin Center for Wellness, PLLC, I provide professional small animal chiropractic care using safe, gentle, and precise techniques designed to restore proper joint motion and support healthy nerve and energy flow throughout the body.
When the spine and joints move correctly, the body is better able to function, heal, and adapt. Chiropractic care may help improve mobility, comfort, performance, posture, and overall quality of life for your pet. Regular care can also help reduce the risk of major back problems or support faster recovery when injuries occur.
Every animal receives individualized attention with a calm, compassionate approach focused on comfort and long-term wellness. Whether your companion is an active athlete, a senior pet needing extra support, or recovering from physical stress, chiropractic care can be an important part of helping them move and feel their best.
Because when pets move better, they live better.

Customer Reviews
Dr Peterson is wonderful. She not only works on people, but canines too. I brought my 10 yr old Boykin Spaniel to her after he suffered a spinal injury and had lost the use of both hind legs. Dr Peterson was realistic with expectations, but optimistic and compassionate. We worked together for about 2 months adjusting my 4 legged buddy. He showed improvement after each visit. Although he still has some recovery and strength building ahead of him, he is back to wagging his tail, walking fairly normal and even running at times. He is off of his pain meds and hopefully on his way to a full recovery. She literally saved my best friend from an early grave. I will forever be grateful.
