Chiropractic Care

How chiropractic works.

◊ The bones of the spine and joints are maintained in a specific alignment.

◊ The nerves which surround each joint and vertebral articulation are in constant communication with the central nervous system, brain and all organs.

◊ When even a subtle change in the alignment occurs, it is called a subluxation.

◊ Subluxations affect the nervous system, local muscles, joints and even distant organs, glands and body functions.

 

Why treatment can help with other disorders.

 

◊ All organs receive nervous system input from nerves which exit between vertebra.

◊ Correcting subluxations of these areas can change the nervous system input and affect blood flow, as well as hormone and neurotransmitter levels directly affecting the organs and glands, skin and joints.

 

Will the adjustment hurt?

◊ Most animals accept both the exam and adjustment without signs of pain.

◊ When a painful area is found, the practitioner will use the gentlest techniques to reduce pain before delivering an adjustment.

◊ In cases of acute or extreme pain, the doctor will often delay the complete adjustment until your companion can be relaxed.

 

Why doesn’t one adjustment resolve the problem?

◊ In the case of a recent injury or sublaxation, one adjustment may be adequate, but as a follow-up is needed to assure your companion is well.

◊ Often no outward signs occur to let owners know when a sublaxation occurs.

◊ When long term problems reach the point of noticeable pain or outward signs, the doctor may need to do several adjustments.

 

What can I expect after an adjustment?

◊ Many animals will show immediate improvement.

◊ Sometimes there is a 24-48 hour period of tiredness.

◊ Some animals require a few sessions to resolve acute pain.

◊ Often, with chronic health problems, the doctor will want to see your animal several times to maintain and re-establish normal function of the joints and nervous systems.

I frequently use chiropractor care for my dogs and have had wonderful and amazing results.  I’ve had puppy bites corrected with an adjustment which saved them from being sold as pets because of their bites being off.
