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

Picture
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. ****
