About the Academy

The BackBone-Academy has been founded to offer the most comprehensive and current education in manual therapy for animals. As any educational institution, we will keep abreast of the most current research so that it can be presented to the students and made part of the curriculum as soon as possible. As of today, the traditional veterinary and chiropractic educational system has not yet met the need nor demand for animal chiropractic. Currently there is no governing body, nor protection for the public regarding animal chiropractic education or treatment in most European countries.

It is our belief that the public would be best served (as well as protected) if veterinarians and human chiropractors with the best possible chiropractic education do practise chiropractic as a healing modality. For this reason our programs follow the standards of AVCA (American Veterinary Chiropractic Association) and IVCA (International Veterinary Chiropractic Association) and our Academy is striving for close association with these worldwide leading organizations in veterinary chiropractic and their standards as well as for being a backbone of the veterinary chiropractic education in Europe.
