Weymouth Mass Chiropractor - Bruce Indek DC

Having chiropractic adjustment will enhance your immune system. How you say, well if the body is acidic the immune system is stronger, such as when you take Ascorbic Acid aka Vit C. When nerves fire off in the body then produce an acid environment in the body. If the spinal bones [region of the body where ALL nerves start out] are stuck and not moving correctly, then spinal nerves will not fire as well. This causes a loss of the acid environment and thus weaken the immune system.

This entire concept alone explains why going to the chiropractor even when you feel well is so important. Vit C alone is not enough and neither is just getting adjusted. You have to do it all in order to max your health potential.

Infections in dogs and horses - Chiropractor for dogs and horses in mass

Ok so this is a different way of looking at your health and that of your animals. We all have seen the reoccurance of colds and other infections despite our good intentions.  The body needs to be acidic in order to aid in immune function. When the body is less acidic the immune system is weakened.

Nerves have the ability to keep the body acidic via firing off in a normal manner and releasing ions that will aid in this acidity. If nerves do not fire correctly such as when the spine is subluxated [ spinal bones that are stuck in movement and irritating nerves thus changing the firing rate of nerves], the acidity will decrease in the body and thus weaken the immune system. Obviously a weak immune system will allow for infection.

Keeping the spine un-subluxated by chiropractic adjustments will strengthen the immune system. This is a concept that needs to be kept in mind and is just another reason why wellness chiropractic care [care that occurs when there are no symptoms or injury] is so important.

Dog Back Pain - Dog chiropractor Mass and southern Mass South Shore

Back pain in a dog can often be resolved by chiropractic care. A certified animal chiropractor from the American Vet Chiropractic Assoc will evaluate your dog for subluxation [ a spinal bone that is not moving correctly and irritating nerves to the back and legs].

Adjusting the dog along with specific rehab exercises that I give the dog will greatly improve the dogs function and remove pain.

Doing exercises without chiropractic care may cause increased problems. Likewise just doing chiropractic without exercise therapy is only half the answer.

Horse Lameness and Horse Balance - Equine Chiropractor Mass and New England

Your  Balance Point

You and your horse need to be in balance to prevent injury and improve your riding. Well we all know this but does this really occur and how often?

The center of balance for your horse is just behind his elbow in the chest area and your center is at the naval. When your posture and core are strong you will usually sit straight up. In these days of computers the typical posture is hunched forward with head jutting forward. Your upper back and neck will often strain and subluxate the vertebrae causing muscle imbalance.  The forward posture can be improved by sitting on a ball at the desk while you work or even using a posture specific chair. Exercises using a balance ball between your back and the wall while doing wall sitting will improve your core as well. It is important to have your chiropractor check you periodically to be sure your spine is functioning well, long before there is pain.

Your horse likewise should have regular chiropractic checkups to ensure good spinal movement. Remember it is very common for a rider to cause equine imbalance that becomes a separate issue for the horse as well. Core and proprioception exercises such as the ones featured in the book “Activate your Horses Core” are great to incorporate.

Recently I had a rider who consistently did not turn her shoulder correctly while riding and this in turn caused stiffness in her horse. I corrected her spine and gave her exercises to do which greatly enhanced her horses movement.

Sometimes it is the simple things that matter.

back pain in dogs- dog not eating or drinking - Chiropractor for dogs mass

Recently I received a call from a worried owner. Her lab/rotty mix was not eating or drinking. He paced and the vet could not find any cause. Pain meds did not help.

The dog had recently had difficulty getting up on the hind end and now his neck and shoulder were in pain.
I determined this dog had a disc problem and subluxations in the lumbar spine along with arthritis. I adjusted him and did some myofascial work as well as acupressure.

After 30 min he actually lifted his head, drank some water and ate some food for the first time in days. 24 hours later I treated him again and he was trotting and moving normally as well as eating and drinking.

This dog was slatted to be put down and thanks to animal chiropractic we saved him.
