low back pain - Chiropractor in Weymouth mass

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N6q0SMp3s4

The Psoas Muscle is one of the main support muscles for the low back. When you have a subluxtion [ spinal joint that is not moving correctly and irritating nerves ] in the low back, the Psoas Muscle will get tight. You must go to the chiropractor to correct the subluxation or the Psoas Muscle will just get tight again and cause back pain. Doing this stretch will help your chiropractic adjustments and relieve pain.

If you log onto my website : Indekchiropractic.com there is a link on the home page [right side] for "Perform Better", they have great prices on quality foam rollers.

Disc Problems in Dogs Alternative Therapy - Chiropractor for dogs South Shore Boston - Cape Cod

Chondroplastic is the fancy name for breeds of dogs that are prone to disc problems. Some of the familiar are the Dachs, and Corgy.

Often the neck or low back region is where the disc occurs as well as the thoraco-lumbar transition which is between the upper and low back vert.

Chiropractic adjustment, stretching, muscle strengthening and acupuncture are very helpful and much more cost effective.

weymouth chiropractor - chiropractor in weymouth mass

Many patients ask how long do I have to see the chiropractor. Well chiropractic can be divided into two phases 1. Pain Care 2. Wellness Care

Pain care is obvious and will take different amounts of time depending on age, injury, etc.
Wellness care occurs if no pain exists and this is the best part of chiropractic. Evaluating a person on a ongoing process for subluxation and correcting it long before symptoms is Wellness Care. Do u eat right, exercise?

Well Wellness Care is like eating right and exercising. It improves the immune system, muscle balance, nerve function and balance. Most wait till they have lost one of these to seek chiropractic care and that is fine but isn't it nicer to stay well than wait till pain occurs. Remember your body is not a machine and sometimes when you wait for symptoms they cannot always be fixed.

Call Dr Bruce with questions, 781-337-1180. I have many affordable plans if your insurance does not cover chiropractic.

lameness in dogs front leg - chiropractor for dogs cape cod and south of boston

lameness in the front leg can be caused by many issues. Dogs carry 60 percent of their body weight on the front legs. If your dog is overwt. they will carry more wt on the front end and strain the neck and shoulder. Chiropractic adjustments will help the neck and shoulder as well as a diet change.
Many owners give way to many treats, so try carrots and string beans instead of those awful calorie rich store treats.

Chiropractor for horse - Head Toss and TMJ problems in a horse

Yawning and Head Shake

If you notce your horse is shaking their head or yawning there may be a TMJ (jaw joint) or upper cervical subluxation, especially if your vet has not found any tooth or gum issues.

The TMJ will regulate jaw movement and the muscles as well as the upper cervical joints interact with this movement. Your horse may be attempting to unlock the jaw and or decrease tension in the upper cervical region. When riding you may notice resistance to the bit and head tossing.

Teeth that needed to be floated or arthritis within the joint can cause this condition not to mention improper tack.

A animal chiropractic evaluation can determine if this issue is present. 

Treatment will involve manual traction on the jaw as well as adjustments to the TMJ and cervical spine will be in order. Myofascial work to the TMJ and Occiput area will also help.
