Dr. LiVolsi uses her hands and also sometimes a chiropractic adjusting instrument to deliver safe, effective chiropractic care. Speed of recovery depends on length of time the problems has been present, damage if any, the physical condition and age of the animal and cooperation of both the animal and owner.

Dr LiVolsi is certified and a member of the American Veterinary Chiropractic Assocation (AVCA), the only recognized certification body in the country for animal chiropractors.  Dr. LiVolsi was Allegheny and Westmoreland County's first and only AVCA certified practitioner for years. She served on the AVCA's Practice Standard Committe and helped to write and administer their first national board.  Since then, Dr. Dina has been a leader in this field by teaching certified veterinarians and chiropractors her own technique "ENERGYWORKS CHIROPRACTIC" for professional continuing education hours as well as the "INTENSE REVIEW PLUS" and "INTRODUCTION TO COMPLEMENTARY CARE FOR THE VETERINARIAN" seminars.

Dr. LiVolsi travels regularly to Cairo, Egypt, where she adjusts horses (and some times their owners!).   "It is a wonderful opportunity to travel and experience another part of the world, the people and culture.  It's great to see how universal it is for people to love and care for their animal friends," says Dr. Dina after recent trips to Egypt in February, April, and October 2008.  She further stated that another trip is planned for 2009.

 Dr Dina recently stated, "I always have a wonderful time in Egypt!  The people are very open, friendly and kind.  I have worked with some absolutely terrific animals, and look forward to returning."

IMPORTANT:  When selecting a practitioner to perform chiropractic on your animal, please ASK for their education!  Animal chiropractic is not taught in any regular chiropractic or veterinary school currently - it is a post-graduate course.  Please be cautious if selecting a practitioner who took a weekend seminar and who is not certified through the AVCA.  Please visit their website for current list at www.avcadoctors.com.
