What Conditions Do Older Dogs Develop as They Age?
One of the most common musculoskeletal issues in dogs is arthritis. This condition does not just suddenly appear – it starts slowly, and if left untreated, can be debilitating to your beloved dog. Hip dysphasia and spondylosis are both degenerative joint diseases that are common in dogs. It is possible to use manual techniques to ease the joints back into place so your pet gets relief from the pain associated with these conditions. Other issues your dog may suffer from including musculoskeletal weakness, acute neck pain, cervical instability, and intervertebral disk disease. A chiropractor for dogs can assist all of these conditions.
What About Younger Dogs?
Active young dogs, especially sporting dogs, also benefit from holistic pet care. Chiropractic adjustments can keep your young dog strong and mobile and enhance athletic performance and recovery while also decreasing his or her chances of developing a musculoskeletal issue in the future.
