I have never been to a chiropractor in my life - but let's not knock them.
The American Medical Association says with "back problems" that, if appropriate, chiropractic treatment should be the first treatment of choice, then medical care (medicines, etc.) - and surgery last. And, given different back problems - there are perfect candidates for all three of these types of treatment.
I have never thought about it, but I can't see a reason in the world why chiropractic treatment might not be appropriate for certain problems that a dog might have. It would be great if this treatment was effective and you wouldn't have to resort to medications or surgery.
If your vet suggested it - and your dog is uncomfortable - I'd seriously consider it.
