Dr. Phillips has opened doors into my horses overall health. She has helped me solve many issues and also provides feedback on what is working and what isn’t. My horses overall health and wellness have been greatly impacted by her care and treatments. Definitely someone I refer people to!!
- Elizabeth SRecently Dr. Whitney came to my house and adjusted my cats. She was gentle and patient with them. Her evaluation was thorough and she showed me some ways to work on them myself. She also adjusts dogs and horses (and humans). Pretty cool. - Portland, Oregon
- Karin ESO MUCH STOKE for Dr. Whitney and her animal skills! Our 60lb boxer/lab has been having a really rough time with his limbs and spine since January of 2021. The vet could only offer pain meds without much insight on what was going on. After 1 visit with Dr. Whitney, Mosley was moving at least 60% better! It's been AWESOME to witness Mosley go from uncomfortably limping around to moving with much more ease! During our second treatment Mo was a bit more nervous but Dr. Whitney didn't let that affect her treatment. After offering a remedy for a safe session she was able to offer more adjustments and mobilization for his neck and hind. Her skill and knowledge is exactly what we needed in our care plan. Thank you so much for giving Mosley less discomfort Dr. Whitney! - Portland, OR
- Meagan FI would leave 100 stars if I could. Our 12-year old German Shepherd/Rottie mix had been losing function in her rear legs to the point where she could barely walk. Our veterinarian could only recommend pills or surgery, and at her age, surgery would be risky and very expensive. Pills weren't helping. Then we met Dr. Whitney and the friendly folks at Move Better Chiropractic. First of all, Whitney is just a total sweetheart. She assessed our girl, and thought she'd be a perfect candidate for doggie chiropractic. Here's how it went over the course of just one week: Day after first treatment: Some improvement but still rolling her right foot and extremely wobbly. The next day was not as good, but still better than before. Day after 2nd treatment: Wow, we are very impressed. Our girl is able to go for short walks with assistance. Her demeanor is much bubblier and she just seems happier. Maybe the CBD's we started giving her a few days ago are helping too? Immediately after the 3rd treatment: OMG I absolutely can't believe the difference! I got my doggie back! She's got that "bounce" back in her step, her tail is all waggly again, I'm literally in tears with joy as I write this. She's not yet 100%, a little off-balance here and there, but I honestly never thought I'd see her so "normal" again. We're going back in a week for a follow-up to make sure she keeps moving in the right direction. Like I said, I would give 100 stars if I could. I would have paid any amount to get my sweet girl back on her feet, but Move Better's prices were very reasonable, and they even gave us doggie treats to take home. They treated our dog like a member of the family, in terms of care and concern. If your pet is having mobility issues, please consider taking her to see Dr. Whitney first!! - Portland, Oregon
