Here’s something to think about: There are a multitude of health care services/treatments/procedures that have been alerted and transferred to the field of veterinary medicine, but for some reason many people laugh off the idea chiropractic care for dogs. It’s so easy to think about the daily stresses that our bodies encounter that result in discomfort, but what about our pets? They suffer from many of the same ailments as we do, including back/neck/joint pain, arthritis, muscle spasms and so on.
It’s terrible to see our pets uncomfortable and chiropractic care offers an alternative to drugs and painful surgery that can inhibit their quality of life. Chiropractic care for pets is gaining popularity, and there is even training for both veterinarians and chiropractors available through the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association.
Just like kids puppies can benefit from chiropractic care, and regular adjustments not only gets them used to being adjusted but it can help prevent further problems down the road just like human chiropractic care.
Here are some signs that your pet may be in need of an adjustment:
-abnormal reluctance to be pet on their head, neck, back or have their tail groomed (pets have vertebra extending through the tip of their tail)
-lameness, stiffness, reduced flexibility
-Athletic ability/level reduction
-Difficulty changing from lying to standing and vice versa
-Difficulty climbing stairs, and jumping
