Animal Manipulation (Chiropractic)
Progression Summary
The McTimoney College of Chiropractic offers an MSc Animal Manipulation (Chiropractic) programme awarded by Ulster University. The programme is recognised by the Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners (RAMP) and Animal Health Professions Register (AHPR). The MSc Animal Manipulation (Chiropractic) programme is a validated Master’s level programme that trains students in animal manipulation using chiropractic techniques. The programme is intended for three distinct groups: students with prior experience in hands-on therapy (such as trained chiropractors, physiotherapists, or other qualified practitioners), individuals holding a BSc degree in Equine or Animal Science, and those who are affiliated with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Students without manipulative training are required to complete the Graduate Certificate in Animal Therapy. Those lacking formal training can alternatively provide a certified experience portfolio for evaluation. Veterinary chiropractors are experiencing high demand, with a multitude of opportunities available in maintenance, rehabilitative, and competition performance roles. Many practitioners choose to specialise in these areas or focus on specific species, such as equine, canine, or farm animals. Veterinary chiropractors often operate as self-employed individuals, serving their local communities and maintaining close connections with veterinary practices. The combination of specialisation and local presence allows them to deliver targeted and personalised care to their animal patients, making a significant impact on the well-being and performance of the animals they treat.
