Canine chiropractic care can have great benefits for our dogs. Whether you have a racing Greyhound; agility dog; working animal, or a family pet, they can suffer from muscle or joint discomfort as much as humans do. In addition, age related conditions can affect our pets. Where suitable, treatment and advice can be provided as a way of reducing discomfort and pain; as well as promoting the long term comfort of the animal.Nowadays surgical procedures for conditions such as elbow and hip dysplasia and disc degeneration are common. Chiropractic, along with other complimentary therapies, can be used in combination with medical treatment, and in pre and post operative care with many conditions.
Dogs are generally much more relaxed in their own environment. In order to keep anxiety and stress to a minimum, mobile/home visit services can be provided. To get an idea of how we can help your dog, please click here.
