Your dog’s total physical, mental and emotional well being can benefit from chiropractic care. When treating a patient with chronic pain, if you take away or lessen that pain the body as a whole reacts positively to the experience.
Chiropractic care can help repair your dog’s muscles to allow the joints to move freely. Your dog’s muscles are healthy if they are free of spasm, weakness, discomfort, knots or degeneration, which is especially common in elderly dogs.
The nervous system can also be affected by poor, or blocked, energy flow (communication waves between the brain and all areas of the dog’s body). This communication can be blocked when the nerves are pinched, which in turn keeps your dog from performing at his optimal level. Blockages can also cause extreme pain and if left untreated can lead to overall poor health for your dog.
When the basic skeletal system is not aligned, the body is unable to function at its full potential. Have you seen any signs that your dog may not be exercising, playing or living at his full potential? If so, scheduling an assessment may be beneficial for you and your dog.
Many animals will show immediate improvement. Sometimes there is a 24–48 hour period of tiredness and some animals require a few sessions to resolve acute pain. Often, with chronic health problems, the chiropractor will want to see your animal several times to maintain and re-establish normal function of the joints and nervous system.
In the case of a recent injury or subluxation, one adjustment may be adequate but a follow-up is needed to assure your pet is well. When long term problems reach the point of noticeable pain or outward signs, the doctor may need to do several adjustments.
The entire process is virtually pain free and a great alternative to surgery, especially for the older and weaker dog. Dog chiropractic care is a great drug-free alternative to healing your pup's body.
