International Veterinary Chiropractic Association

Promoting excellence in the field of Veterinary Chiropractic

IVCA is now accepting proposals for Continuing Education (CE) courses—online or in-person.

Our former IVCA secretary Helga Thorwartl passed away on the 4th of October. 

Helga started to build up a functioning IVCA secretary on the 29th of July 2006. She was a reliable partner for our members  and the school owners. Her calm, determined nature was always a great help for everyone involved in the IVCA.
To enjoy her retirement Helga gave the office in younger hands and handed over to Kirstin. Helga’s last years were marked by serious illness. On the 4th of October she has lost that fight and passed away. We will always keep her in honorable memory. Our sincere condolences go to her family.

For the MC: Marion Thurner, Claudia da Rocha Patricio, Victoria McKinney, Jennifer Henrickson

For the ICCAC: Kathrin Lösing, Ute Körner, Petra Peer, Inga Lösing, Marion Thurner, Jasmin Semmelmeyer, Anna Lena Nissen

For the IVCA office: Kirstin Fiebig

Hi, my name is Jen Allen, and I am an equine veterinarian in Glasgow, Scotland and qualified in animal chiropractic through the IVCA with Options for Animals. I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 2016 and since 2021 have become a member of the IVCA.

Originally from California, I have worked in Washington state, England, California and recently returned to Scotland last March! Since obtaining my chiropractic qualification I have enjoyed incorporating it into my multimodal approach for poor performance cases, acute traumatic cases as well as general wellness and maintenance for horses spanning from the pleasure horse up to competition level athletes.
