Is your furry family member struggling with pain or mobility issues? Could a chiropractic adjustment provide much-needed relief?
At Southlake Animal Hospital, we are committed to delivering the highest level of care through as many treatment options as possible. To that end, we are proud to offer veterinary chiropractic adjustments as part of our comprehensive list of services.
What is veterinary chiropractic?
Chiropractic care involves the manipulation and readjustment of the body by a specially trained veterinary professional. These adjustments restore proper alignment of joints, thereby reestablishing movement and motion, and decreasing pain. With proper alignment, nerve function is restored, and your pet’s body is allowed to communicate freely.
What conditions can chiropractic care address?
Many people are surprised to learn just how many conditions can be treated through veterinary chiropractic. These ailments can include, but are not limited to:
- Arthritis
- Chronic pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Tissue healing and muscle growth after trauma
- Hip dysplasia
- Incontinence
- Mobility problems
- Muscle spasms
- Nerve problems
- Reproductive issues
- Respiratory problems
- Skin problems
- Stiffness and tension
- Separation anxiety
What are the benefits of veterinary chiropractic?
Chiropractic adjustments can be beneficial in a variety of ways, including the following:
- Pain relief
- Non-invasive
- Drug-free
- Improved Mobility
- Faster recovery from surgery or injury
Will a chiropractic adjustment hurt my pet?
Despite how highly targeted they are, chiropractic adjustments surprisingly gentle. In fact, most animals we treat become quite relaxed during a session. Pets typically sleep for a few hours following an adjustment, and owners often report that they wake up relieved and revitalized.
How can I know if my pet needs an adjustment?
Symptoms of improper joint movement can vary greatly and may include pain, behavioral changes, lameness, and refusal to participate in normal daily activities. Other symptoms may be more difficult to spot because they adversely affect your pet’s nervous system. As such, regular adjustments may be recommended to ensure proper nerve flow.
