Chiropractic Care For Pets

July 15 2022

Did you know that chiropractic treatments are becoming quite popular in the world of veterinary medicine? Chiropractic care has been used to help many different types of animals, such as horses, turkeys, pigs, elephants, and even snakes. Of course, here in our neck of the woods, we are focused on dogs and cats. A local Tarzana, CA vet discusses this wonderful treatment in this article.


Basics

Chiropractic care is nothing new: it was actually used in ancient Greece and China. The treatments are focused on the manipulation of the spinal column, which is the main corridor or highway for our central nervous systems. Anything that impedes the flow of information through the nerves can be detrimental to one’s health and well-being. Those types of blockages and misalignments can cause several issues, from disrupting the release of the body’s natural hormones and chemicals to interfering with muscle control to digestive issues. Realigning the spine can help clear those blockages, helping your blood flow more easily. Think of it as getting a kink out of a hose.


Benefits

Chiropractic has some wonderful and unique benefits. One thing that many pet owners find appealing is the fact that it does not require any medication or surgery. Your furry buddy won’t need to be shaved, either, which is also a plus. Another good thing about chiropractic is the fact that it is very flexible. Chiropractic treatments can be repeated as often as needed. They also work well in conjunction with other treatments. Of course, the best thing about chiropractic care is the fact that it works. Some pets make remarkable progress, and are visibly less stiff and sore after just a few sessions!


Uses

Chiropractic treatments are most often used to treat issues along the spinal column. However, they can also be used to treat many different problems. Some of these include mobility problems, inconteints, skin trouble, digestive issues, misalignments, muscle spasms, and hip dysplasia. Ask your vet for more information.


Tips

Chiropractic treatments are truly wonderful, but that doesn’t mean they are going to be right for every dog or cat. It ultimately depends on the pet and the type of issue they are facing. If you think that your furry pal may benefit, ask your veterinarian for more information. It never hurts to learn more!
