Biography
Hi, there. I’m Ruth. I received my animal chiropractic training at Parker University in Dallas and am certified by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA).
​
I was born and raised in Virginia and completed my undergraduate biology degree at Asbury University in Kentucky and my doctor of veterinary medicine degree at Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama.
​
Prior to animal chiropractic, I have been in various fields of veterinary medicine. These include general practice, shelter medicine, low-cost wellness and vaccine clinics, and missions with Christian Veterinary Mission.
​
It has been a joy to create Nose to Tail Animal Care, and I very much look forward to meeting you. Hop over to the “Why Chiropractic” page to read more of my story and journey into the world of animal chiropractic.
What Do All the Terms Mean?
Ruth Lacey is a Chiropractic Veterinarian, or a Veterinarian Certified in Animal Chiropractic. The term Animal Chiropractor is reserved for chiropractors (DCs, doctors of chiropractic for humans) who have additional certification in animal chiropractic. And the term Veterinary Chiropractor is reserved for a person who holds a dual degree as both a chiropractor and veterinarian (DC and DVM). Our own founder of animal chiropractic in the USA was one, Sharon Willoughby-Blake, DVM, DC! Animal chiropractic can also be referred to as veterinary chiropractic, but it is most commonly referred to as animal chiropractic to be more clear that it includes both the veterinarians (DVMs) and chiropractors (DCs) certified in it. Certification in animal chiropractic for both chiropractors (DCs) and veterinarians (DVMs) occurs through either the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) or the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA). Each is a joint program for both chiropractors (DCs) and veterinarians (DVMs).​
