DOG CHIROPRACTIC
TREATMENT

Whatever the age of your dog, whatever your chosen life style, activity or sport, you can improve the comfort, and even performance of your dog with the aid of chiropractic care. Chiropractic will align and balance the dog’s musculoskeletal system, so optimising the individual’s dynamic flexibility. By making subtle adjustments throughout the whole body whilst paying special attention to the spine and pelvis, health, soundness and performance may be restored and maintained.

How to tell when your dog may benefit from a chiropractic treatment – below are some typical indicators:

• Difficulty jumping into cars or climbing stairs
• Showing discomfort or crying out when stroked along their backs or unwilling to be touched
• Crying out when getting up or lying down
• A reluctance to play or exercise
• An abnormal posture
• A change in behaviour such as snapping when being stroked, or an unwillingness to sit or lie down
• Signs of muscle atrophy (wasting) or an over development of a particular muscular area
• A deterioration in performance in a working and competition dog

Animal Chiropractors by law will only work with veterinary permission and will liaise with a range of other para-professionals such as saddlers, dentists, farriers and physiotherapists if required.
