Animal Chiropractor &Â
Professional Wellness Speaker
"There is an urgent problem facing our community where families are being compromised due to misinformation about health. Americans have never been as sick, diseased, or symptomatic as we are today. There are endless people who are suffering, who have been through the Chronic disease in animals is becoming commonplace. Usual and customary is constantly changing. When President James Garfield was shot, the bullets could not be found. Edison’s x-ray was available but was not usual and customary. Garfield died because seven surgeons damaged his liver, when the radiograph would have shown there was no need for surgery. When I graduated from vet school, glucosamine was not usual and customary in animals. Students are now taught the physiology and pharmacology of glucosamine in their middle years of training. Our practice uses the chiropractic adjustment as the cornerstone of diagnostic and prognostic indicators in animals. It is not usual or customary, but it first causes no harm. Let me show your group how."
~ Dr. Amy Hayek
As a veterinarian, Dr. Hayek saw many horses she was unable to help achieve optimum health, until she began combining chiropractic and nutrition. She saw other doctors struggled with the same challenges.
Her 20 plus years of experience in equine health and chiropractic education make her a sought after expert in holistic animal health.
​
Her mission is to train doctors to bring chiropractic into food production. She treats animals in her practice and lectures through the online platform Animal Chiropractic Education Source.

The graduates of the Animal Chiropractic 101 program have been able to make 6 figure incomes. In the face of outbreaks in their communities, these trained animal chiropractors have been able to save lives and save animal owners thousands of dollars from potential losses.
​
In working for the Center for Epidemiology and Animal Health from 1996 - 1998 I monitored outbreaks and explored the environmental impact and economic devastation experienced by ranchers.
In our research there, we could track the spread of diseases but we never seemed to find the actual causes.
As an animal chiropractic instructor, I have seen my graduates resolve disease outbreaks in their communities with chiropractic; allowing the animals’ immune systems to solve the disease processes.
​
Time and again both animals and people have shown us the body is designed to manage and clear disease from the inside out. No matter what the disease. Providing it with clean water, appropriate nutrition and a clear nervous system they can avoid and overcome anything.
​
In my veterinary practice I have seen communities overcome illness, emergency situations and trauma with chiropractic.
In no way am I discrediting veterinary medicine, though I am saying that when chiropractic is applied first, this allows veterinarians to work in their zone of genius and do more for their patients when the patient does more to help itself.
In taste test after taste test, chiropractically adjusted animals produce better tasting products. Milk, eggs, meat, all result in better quality food for humans. Fiber, feathers, and wool also improve because animal chiropractic improves the hair follicle via the increased immune function of the animal.
​
When a herd has a routine chiropractic appointment, it improves the size and quality of the herd faster in spite of other treatments.
