Chiropractic Care for Dogs

​​​

​

Many owners are surprised at how much benefit dogs can derive from chiropractic care. Often, signs of discomfort in your animal's joints go unnoticed, but owners will observe changes in activity, mood and behaviour as these are the foremost signs of a problem.

 

A gentle touch and movements of your dogs spine and joints ease the underlying stress and improve the health and motion of the area.

 

As part of the treatment offered, I also conduct stance and gait analysis. I do this to evaluate your dog’s overall musculoskeletal health and provide treatment to improve mobility and lessen pain.

 

The goal of chiropractic treatment is an improved posture and a reduction in pain.

​

According to VCA Animal Hospital, chiropractic treatment can lead to immediate results. When applied correctly, adjustments may alleviate or even eliminate the need for long-term medicine treatments.

 

It's important to know when to seek help. Here are some of the signs you can look out for in your dog's health:

​

• Participates in active sports or showing

• Arthritis or congenital joint issues

• Difficulty moving

• Head tilting or holding the tail low

• Shortened or uneven stride

• Uneven muscle development or weight-bearing

• Refusal or reduced ability to perform tasks

• Sensitivity or pain

• Changes in attitude or behaviour

• Persistent licking or chewing
