Chiropractic treatment for your dog.
The use of chiropractics as an integral part of animal health care has been part of the holistic trend for a number of years. The relationship of the spinal column to the nervous system and the role this plays in the bio mechanics and movement has proven to offer tremendous results upon correct alignment and adjustments.
There is a difference between alignments and adjustments which are performed upon your dog. An adjustment is designed to restore the bio mechanics of the vertebral column and directly influences the neurological functioning. Adjustments deliver maximum force to a certain vertebra with minimum damage to surrounding tissues. Alignments are characterized by providing force to a number of vertebra.
When treated by a chiropractic, a complete physical examination is performed on the dog. Their posture, gait, and behavior is considered at a vertebral level, mechanically and neurologically. The veterinarian sees the dog as a whole rather than the sum of many parts. For an older dog, this does wonders for them. Likewise, in dogs with ACL injuries, this helps enormously.
Dogs that are very athletic require performance that is free from pain and stiffness. Lack of proper functioning in the lumber spine can result in limited power from the rear limbs and greatly restricts the canines flexibility.
A person that repeatedly pulls or restrains the dog with various walking apparatus, can pull the dog's neck or spine out of alignment. A dog that has a neck or spine out of alignment can exhibit lameness in a forelimb, hind leg or even digestive disorders.
Diseases such as spondylosis respond well to chiropractic adjustments and increase the quality of life for the dog. Hip dysplasia and other pathological conditions have been helped. Even dogs with ruptured cruciate ligaments benefit from chiropractic adjustments after the joint is stabilized. This is because a limping dog that is carrying the leg in a non-weight-bearing position, can create a secondary compensation at vertebral levels.
