Dogs with hip and or knee conditions need chiropractic adjustments to aid in recovery since the pelvis/sacroiliac joints as well as the front legs will adapt with stress placed on them as the hip and knee recovers.
The chiropractic adjustment will help speed healing and reduce secondary problems that usually occur if there is no chiropractic added to the regime.
When these joints are dysplastic or cruciate injury occurs there is inflammation and pain. Inflammation also affects the immune system as well. Inflammation is part of healing but too much is damaging. Inflammation is regulated by proteins in the body called cytokines. It has been proven that chiropractic adjustments can control cytokine release and thus help mediate the inflammation process and speed healing.
