Why may chiropractic treatment be beneficial for your pet?

The benefits of chiropractic treatment for humans and non-humans are very similar. A chiropractic adjustment:

• Increases joint range of motion by breaking up adhesions and scar tissue
• Stimulates the immune system and promotes the body's natural ability to try to heal itself
• Relieves stress and anxiety
• Prevents future injuries 
• Improves spinal disc health
• Improves circulation throughout the body, including skeletal muscles on body organs
• Increases energy (this is obvious in many of my patients immediately after being treated)
• Prevents a possibly unnecessary surgical procedure 
• Eliminates the need to use prescription medications to treat some conditions and diseases

I just want to discuss the last two points in a bit more detail. Chiropractic treatment will not cure all diseases or conditions and there are times where no other alternative exists than to prescribe medications or to have a surgical procedure performed on your beloved pet. There are many conditions, however, that chiropractic may be the safer and more effective alternative.

Please ask questions, write comments, and suggest topics that you would like me to discuss on here!
