Dr. Van Nostrand and his wife Courtney are proud owners of three Dutch Wirehair Pointing Griffons, a German Sheppard, a Hungarian Viszla and a Jack Russell. Additionally the couple enjoys their gated horses, a Paso Fino and Tennessee Walker, along with their multiple pet cows.
So in 2010 it was only a natural transition for Dr. Van Nostrand to return back to school for his Certification in Animal Chiropractic through The American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA). He received his Post-doctorate education in Animal Chiropractic from Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas, TX. He maintains his active certification and continues to attend continuing education courses.
In 2011 Dr. Van Nostrand and his wife opened Horse & Hound Animal Adjusting. A practice dedicated to improving health and enhancing the performance of equine and companion animals. Dr. Van Nostrand focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system and sensorimotor integration as a foundation for his therapeutic care. He has a special interest in proprioceptive and cerebellar funcation and its involvement in proper biomechanics of the quadruped in athletic performance and injury prevention. Working closely with local Veterinarians, Farriers, Animal Massage Therapists, and other specialists, Dr. Van Nostrand has experience treating all breed and sizes
from Teacup Chihuahuas to draught horses.
