Fairfield veterinarian attends American Veterinary Chiropractic Assocation Annual Conference

Dr. Michelle Burgmeier, a veterinarian practicing in Fairfield at The Village Vet, recently attended the 2019 American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) Annual Conference and General Membership Meeting held at Tucson, Arizona. The annual conference offers advanced learning for doctors certified in animal chiropractic by the Animal Chiropractic Certification Commission (ACCC) of the AVCA.

Licensed doctors of chiropractic and licensed doctors of veterinary medicine who have passed a postgraduate program in animal chiropractic approved by the AVCA are eligible to sit for the ACCC/AVCA Certificaiton Examinations. In order to become ACCC/AVCA certified in animal chiropractic a graduate from one of the approved programs must pass both the ACCC Comprehensive Written and Clinical Competency Examination. An ACCC/AVCA Certified Doctor is required 30 hours of continuing education every three years to keep certification current.

The AVCA was established in 1989. Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to pet health care. It deals with the nervous system housed inside the spinal column.
