Hip Dyplasia - Chiropractor for dog - massachusetts

Hip Dysplasia is very common among large breed dogs and now even small breeds. Hip dysplasia is literally a deformed head of the femur [ball of the femur that fits into the pelvic socket}. These dogs will have problems in the low back and neck as well as the front limbs. These problems come from the compensation process. Think about the entire process as a domino effect. Once you change the movement of the hip you will change the movement of these other areas and create problems.

Chiropractic can help minimize the compensation problems and keep your dog pain free.
