What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a conservative treatment approach that focuses on the body’s musculoskeletal and nervous systems. By locating areas of the spine and body that have lost normal biomechanics, chiropractors utilize what is called an adjustment to stimulate the nerves, spinal cord, and brain to restore proper motion and nervous system function.
What to look for:
Pain
Hesitancy jumping
Abnormal gait
Behavioral changes
Chronic infections
Digestive issues
Urinary or fecal incontinence
Loss of appetite
Benefits:
Chiropractic care ensures optimal function of the nervous system. The nervous system controls every aspect of the body, including muscles, joints, immune function, and digestion. For dogs in particular, movement is vital. A dog that is unable to move effectively sees their overall health deteriorate. Chiropractic care may be effective in promoting proper movement patterns, which keeps your animal moving better for longer.
