Hock injections and Bowed Tendon - horse chiropractor ma

Many issues with the bowed tendon, and hocks are traced back to the pelvis and low back. When a horse cannot engage the hind end there is increased stress on these tissues. Chiropractic adjustments will improve low back and pelvic function and thus fix the cause of bowed tendon and re-occuring hock problems.

carpal tunnel how to treat an prevent - chiropractor south shore boston

Carpal tunnel can have many causes from computer work to exercises. One such problem can be push ups. Yes thats right, push ups! If you exercise doing push ups you will hyperextend your wrist and put pressure on the carpal tunnel causing subluxation with the wrist bones. What to do you ask?

Well first get some push up bars this will put less pressure on the wrist. My website Indekchiropractic.com has a link to Perform Better which is a great site to purchase bars. Chiropractic adjustments to the wrist, elbow and cervical spine will also correct the problem.

Short stride and back pain - Chiropractor for horse and dog Mass, new england

When your horse or dog has back issues there will be short stride and eventual stifle/hock problems
 Having a chiropractor adjust the back will help in overall movement and your vet may do laser on the hock. Only having laser or injections in the hock is only treating 50 percent of the problem thus you often hear about multiple hock injection history.

back pain in people, dogs and horses - Chiropractor for people and animals weymouth mass

Pain is very elusive. You can have pain in your low back and the problem can be caused by a problem in your neck or upper back, with no pain in these other areas. When the nerves from muscles in the body enter the spinal cord they communicate with other nerves that go 5 levels up and down the cord. This means that a pulled muscle and or subluxation within the upper back can cause pain in the low back and or neck.

Chiropractors are skilled at finding this problem and can treat you or your animal with the skill to remove the cause of the pain. Your MD or Vet will treat the pain and not correct the cause.

Email me with questions or call me at Indek Chiropractic 617-472-0661 (Dr Bruce).
Animal patients are seen at your home or barn.

How often does my dog or horse need to be adjusted - Chiropractor for horse or dog mass and new england

How often your dog or horse needs a chiropractor is dependent on the age, past health issues and activity level.
Chiropractic adjustments when there is pain is more frequent, usually 1 per week. Once the pain and issues have resolved your animal has the opportunity to really see the benefits of wellness chiropractic care.Wellness care is not treating lameness or pain issues but rather improving and be proactive in preventing future issues such as degenerative arthritis and a myriad of health and performance problems.

If your horse or dog is involved in showing from dressage, eventing, jumping, hunting, agility, obediance, dock diving, flyball, and conformation then it is imperative that a program of wellness chiropractic care is utilized. By keeping the joints freely moveable you will prevent nerve irritation, muscle soreness, loss of motion, and even many organ dysfunctions since all muscle input to the nervous system effects organ function at the level of the spinal cord. The usual wellness plan will be approx once per month to every 6 weeks. During heavy show season sometimes it may be once every 2 to 3 weeks.

If your horse or dog is not showing then wellness care for general health promotion is also important since many problems arise from improper joint motion that is not symptomatic until the injury occurs, such as Cruciate Ligament problems, Arthritis, and Disc problems to just name a few.

Chiropractor Quincy Mass - Neck and Shoulder Pain

Often neck pain can be a sign of subluxation in the neck or shoulder region. Chiropractic Evaluation can determine this better than your medical doctor. Chiropractic uses functional assessment to determine the cause of the problem while your MD will treat you with muscle relaxers, pain meds, and anti-inflam meds and use the wait and see method. The pain may go away but the problem will not. Do not mask the problem but rather get it fixed.

I am an athlete and board certified in sports injuries with 29 years of practice. I can relate to your issues being an athlete myself. Please call me at 617-472-0661 or email me at Indekchiropractic@gmail.com with any questions.

Thanks
