Canine Chiropractor & Hydrotherapy in Central Maryland
Expert animal chiropractic care, underwater treadmill therapy, acupuncture & more. Why?

Conveniently located in Ellicott City between Baltimore and Washington, DC. Helping dogs, cats & small animals. Dr. Jean Thompson founded Maryland Animal Chiropractic (MAC) in 2009 due to the demand for serving animal patients suffering from neck and back pain, arthritis, sprains and other ailments. Her associate, Dr. Jennifer Henrickson came on board in 2020 with extensive training in chiropractic and a deep passion for all animals. Both are Doctors of Chiropractic, specializing in animals, working mostly with canine and feline species. Together they bring over 20 years of experience in chiropractic. Dr. Thompson is an international instructor for the elite animal chiropractic school, Options for Animals College of Animal Chiropractic. Animal Chiropractic is a field of animal health care that focuses on the preservation and health of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Nerves control everything that happens in your animals. Anything adversely affecting the nervous system will have detrimental effects that will resonate throughout the entire body. The command centers of the nervous system are the brain and spinal cord which are protected by the spine. The spine is a complex framework to bones (vertebra), ligaments, muscles and nerves. If the movement and biomechanics of the vertebra become dysfunctional, they can interfere with the performance of the nerves that are branching off of the spinal cord and going to all of the muscles and organs. As this occurs, your animal can lose normal mobility; resulting in stiffness, tension, pain and even organ dysfunction. Additionally, when normal movement is affected, and left unattended, it will ultimately impact your animal’s overall wellbeing and quality of life. Symptoms that your animal could benefit from chiropractic includes:
• Weakness in the hind end
• Arthritis
• Difficulty Jumping
• Gait abnormalities / Lameness
• Stops grooming their hind end
• Cries when being petted
• Pain when being touched, petted or lifted
• Constantly licking or chewing paws
• Negative changes in attitude or behavior
• Altered sitting “Puppy Sitting”

🐶Willow sporting her new custom stifle brace! She took to it immediately, sensing that her stifle felt more stable and comfortable. When surgery isn't an option for a torn cruciate or meniscus, a stifle brace which is appropriately fitted and supportive can make a huge difference for pain management, function, and your pup's freedom to be a dog.👏🐾

🐶Sometimes, you just need to wear your pajamas all day long...Jewel is recovering from TPLO surgery after rupturing her cranial cruciate ligament.

🐾Keeping Hunter moving one step at a time!💙

One of the wonderful things about the underwater treadmill is its versatility. It allows us to Taylor rehab Rehabilitation sessions to dogs with vastly different mobility needs and functional abilities.

🐶For Hunter, we’re using his mobility cart right inside the underwater treadmill! This provides the rear-end support he needs while allowing our team to give more effective, hands-on guidance to his back legs, helping him achieve the best possible walk-through pattern.🐾

Our goal? To help Hunter maintain his mobility, independence, and quality of life for as long as possible.🐶

Because those neighborhood walks aren’t just about exercise. They’re about sniffing, exploring and keeping up with all the important neighborhood patrol duties that Hunter loves!🐾❤️

Keep on rolling 🛞 (and walking) Hunter!👏👏

💕Meet sweet Willow!💕

Willow has an injured knee, suspected to be a partial cruciate rupture and potential meniscus tear. Surgery isn't an option for Willow so we casted her leg today to have a custom knee brace made for her. The brace will provide external support to allow her to improve her comfort, weightbearing, and use of her leg so she can continue doing important doggy duties.💕

Here’s to getting you back on all four paws Willow!🐾🐾🐶

Dempsey was initially fully paralyzed after his second surgery, but with his stubborn Yorkie heart ❤️ and a dedicated dad, Dempsey only needed to add some specialized exercises to his routine to make a full recovery.

👏Hip Hip Hooray, Dempsey! You’ve earned your diploma in determination!💪🏼🐾
