CHIROPRACTIC BENEFITS FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND!

No matter if your dog (or cat) is just a member or your family or takes part in competitive sporting events or dog shows, they can benefit from chiropractic treatments.  To the right are a list of some of the common problems that can benefit from chiropractic and/or acupuncture.   

• Arthritis - Geriatric Cases (Pain/Stiffness due to Aging)                                      
• Hip Dysplasia (Compensation Issues)        
• Patella Luxation
• Disc Disease/Disc Herniation
• Neck Pain/Pinched Nerves            
• Elbow Displasia
• Post-Surgical Procedure Pain/Discomfort (such as cruciates/ACL)
•  Lick Granulomas     
• Post-Trauma/Injury
• Seizures                  

How can you tell if your dog might be in NEED of a chiropractic treatment?

Because your dog communicates in a language other than words, they must rely on your capacity to observe and distinguish the subtle changes in their behavior which might indicate a warning sign for health concerns.

Your pet might try and communicate to you that they are in pain, some symptoms will be very obvious, and others subtle. Below is a list of common signs that your pet might benefit from a consultation or holistic treatment.

• Stiffness and/or limping after getting up from laying down
• Limping or stiffness after playing
• Yelping when making a normal movement
• Shaking after movement as if cold (not relating to temperature) or scared
• Inability to lift their head up, only looks up with eyes
• Paralysis of front or back legs (disc herniation/disc disease complication)
• Inability/Stiffness to go up stairs or get up from laying down
• No longer able to jump onto things

• Panting excessively (in not excessively warm temperatures)
• Refusal to eat
• Puppy Sitting (Sitting with hind legs flopped over to the side and over the age of 12 months)
• Arched back and Low Head Carriage
• Irritable Bowel Disease - Diarrhea
• Seizures

**** Please NOTE - Some of the above symptoms might require a initial consult with your primary veterinarian due to the possibility of a more serious issue (i.e. Cancer).  If you are unsure, I am happy to discuss your case via email/phone and provide possible guidance. ****
