IVCA Member- Spotlight

Hi, my name is Sarah Poth, and I was asked if I would like to introduce myself to y’all, so here we go: After doing my basic chiropractic education at the Backbone Academy, I started my own Veterinary Chiropractic practice in the Frankfurt area in Germany in 2021. I mainly treat horses, but over time I also added some canine home visits. I love bonding with my clients, gaining their trust over time and helping the owners to get to understand their pets even better. During my visits I like to take some time to get an overview of health care, prevention, training, and management of each animal to improve their overall wellbeing.
As my practice is still developing, I try to make use of my spare time by using my social media to educate owners about chiropractic in general and diverse topics relating to animal health (and of course also to gain new customers 😉). Petfluencers, pseudo-therapists and misleading adverts are spreading so much misinformation on social media that I think as vets and veterinary chiropractors we should try start using this media more effectively to counter this trend. What are your thoughts on this issue or isn’t it an issue at all in your place or opinion?
And if you have any advice for a colleague who is still at the beginning of her career, I’d love to hear it!
Greetings to everyone from Germany
