Education in Veterinary Chiropractic and Osteopathy For Companion Animals
With Knowledge, Heart and Dedication
Our mission
At Supple Spine Institute, we believe that true progress in animal health starts with high-quality education. Our programmes and continuing education focus on manual techniques for companion animals, with particular emphasis on chiropractic and osteopathy. With a strong foundation in both science and clinical practice, we prepare professionals to make a real difference — in the lives of animals and in their own careers.
Our vision
Our ambition is clear: to be a leading institute in veterinary chiropractic and osteopathy — not only in the Netherlands, but worldwide.
We combine academic depth with a holistic view of animal health. Our programmes are grounded in the latest scientific insights while respecting traditional knowledge. Education, research and clinical practice come together in a curriculum dedicated to advancing animal welfare.
We stand for:
- Evidence-based education with a strong ethical and professional foundation
- Continuous innovation in course content, aligned with developments in veterinary medicine and manual therapy
- A broad perspective on animal health, with interdisciplinary collaboration at its core
Our graduates are more than technically competent professionals: they are engaged, inquisitive and committed to improving animal welfare — with attention for the individual behind every animal.
Legal Framework
In the Netherlands, veterinarians and veterinary physiotherapists are permitted to independently perform chiropractic and/or osteopathic treatments. Paraveterinary professionals may do so only under the instruction and supervision of a veterinarian.
For this reason, our programmes are exclusively accessible to veterinarians, veterinary physiotherapists and paraveterinary professionals. Participants from other countries are responsible for complying with the laws and regulations applicable in their own country.
It’s not a job, it’s a passion
At Supple Spine Institute, we do more than teach — we share a mission. If you feel the same passion for animal health, we invite you to explore our website and discover our programmes.
