Quick information
About Veterinary Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Clinic (VCRC)
Veterinary Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Clinic (VCRC) is a veterinary clinic in Houston, TX that lists acupuncture, rehabilitation, cold laser therapy, Chinese herbal medicine, chiropractic care and pain management for dogs, cats and horses.
VCRC is an independent small and large animal practice in Houston focused on holistic rehabilitation and conservative care. The clinic's stated goal is to promote patient wellness through veterinary chiropractic, acupuncture, rehabilitation, nutrition consulting, and herbal medicine — with minimal reliance on conventional pharmaceuticals.
The practice receives a large volume of veterinary referrals, and approximately two-thirds of its case load is small animals (dogs and cats), with the remaining third being horses. This referral-heavy model reflects the clinic's reputation for handling complex rehabilitation cases that general practitioners often can't fully address.
Acupuncture is a core offering at VCRC — not an occasional add-on — and it is frequently combined with chiropractic adjustment and rehabilitation therapy for a multimodal approach to pain and mobility.
