Acupuncture & Chiropractic Sessions – Jessica Mattingly, DVM

Dr. Jessica has been a veterinarian in Virginia for 13 years and has worked for The Oaks Veterinary Clinic for 10 years. While most of her time has been spent as an equine veterinarian, she began pursuing integrative techniques to further help her patients. She completed the Animal Chiropractic Certification in early 2014 and has since completed courses in advanced training. In 2018, she completed the animal acupuncture course through the Chi Institute. After completing the chiropractic course she began to offer her integrative services to small animal patients and has enjoyed the diversity it has brought to her veterinary career.

Chiropractic – The goal with chiropractic is to restore normal motion and function of the spine by finding areas of reduced motion during the exam and correcting them using an adjustment. This re-establishes normal nerve function and improves overall body function.

Acupuncture – The goal with acupuncture is to restore balance in the body by stimulating specialized points with needles. The points are selected based on history of the patient and exam findings.
