Animal Chiropractic
"I wanted to take a moment to publicly thank Dr. Brendan for everything he did to help my Bernese Mountain Dog earlier this year. She had done something to a front leg while frolicking in the snow last Christmas. After several trips to the vet, courses of anti-inflammatories and several hundreds of dollars worth of x-rays, I brought her to see Dr. Brendan and he had her good as new in only a few visits! I highly recommend him for your pets as well!"

"My baby (aka…my cat) started coughing about three years ago. As a panicked cat momma I did everything in my power to find out what was going on in her little system, including $700 x-rays at the veterinarian. The x-rays showed nothing, and the numerous dietary changes I tried didn’t give my Jasmine any relief. The vet finally concluded that she must have asthma, gave me a prescription for prednisone, and left me with the task of giving her the medicine for the rest of her life. The prednisone helped for a while, but I hated the thought of my fur baby being on medication for the rest of her life, especially since it didn’t always work. Then I started working at Seaside. I had never heard of chiropractic being used on animals before meeting Dr. Brendan, and honestly I was a little skeptical. Jasmine’s first adjustment was fascinating to watch; she was perfectly calm while being stretched and adjusted, and Dr. Brendan was so gentle with her. I was not expecting to see changes so quickly, but I was pleasantly surprised when Jasmine didn’t have a coughing fit for the rest of the day. One day turned into two, and the next thing I knew Jasmine was coughing once or twice a week instead of every day. After three adjustments, I haven’t heard her cough in at least a week. Not only is Jasmine not coughing, but she has the energy of a kitten! Her routine used to be eat, sleep, roll over, sleep, eat. Now she’s consistently playing with toys and her sister Bridget, and is much more affectionate with myself and my husband. My baby is loving life and it’s all thanks to Dr. Brendan braving potential cat scratches to make sure she got the care she needed!"

"I have been using chiropractic on my dogs for years and Dr. Brendan came to my store to introduce himself, so I had him work with my Aussie, Gennie, who has shoulder problems. He did a wonderful job of stretching her out first, then worked on her body. Dr. Brendan is very intuitive, which is a great asset when working with animals. He is also very calm. After the adjustment her earset was more forward than it has been in years, and her neck was much more flexible. I would highly recommend Dr. Brendan. Gennie also liked him and was very receptive toward him."

"...Talk about a dog's tail (tale) - have I got one for you!!!
"So, I woke up one morning feeling pretty lethargic and sore - Oh! My aching back! It was a real effort to get up!
"My Dog Mom took me, immediately, to my Dog Doctor. He recommended a neurological evaluation with a specialist! I was diagnosed with myelopathy with the prospect of costly tests and risky surgery. It was directed that I have complete bed rest in a confined space for restricted mobility!
"I'm a frisky, lively, happy-go-lucky dog, so all the inactivity forced me to take matters into my own paws! I knew about this super nice, very effective, animal chiropractor, Dr. Brendan Riordan, at Seaside Chiropractic in Norwell, MA, so I scheduled an appointment.
"Wow! At first it was all I could do to unleash some serious bite marks on the good doctor - all 8lbs of me was being stretched and moved in all the right places (but I usually don't allow those places to be handled because they hurt). But my Aunt Mary kept me secured so that the Doc could finish "adjusting" me! Let's just say the Doc and I weren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye after that first visit.
"But brave dog that I am, I continued with further appointments for adjustments with Dr. Brendan and quite thrillingly I started feeling pretty darn good - what R-E-L-I-E-F, comfort and relaxation! That Doc has magical hands (and to think I could have mauled him early on)!
"Well, no surprise that my follow-up visit with my neurologist was a great success - I was found to be much improved and good-to-go!
"Dr. Riordan made a significant difference in my life as once again I am a frisky, lovable, and only sometime, ferocious dog!"

"After seeing how Dr. Brendan worked with and helped my Labrador Retriever, I started seeing him to correct my poor posture.
I was a little doubtful at first, but within a short period of time I'm standing taller and straighter and I feel so comfortable! An added bonus is greater neck flexibility which helps with driving.
Dr. Brendan is professional, considerate, informative, and results oriented. I'm very happy to be working with him."
