Back Pain in Dogs- Disc Problems in Dogs and Lameness- Chiropractor for dogs south of boston

Disc Problems are common in some breeds especially the long back short leg breeds.
The Disc is like a circle of fibrous tissue in similar to a tree trunk and gel in the center. Sometimes the fibrous tissue tears and the gel can bulge or leak out. The bulge or leak will put pressure on spinal nerves causing back pain, and possible leg issues.

Chiropractic and Acupuncture has greatly helped these dogs without the need for surgery. If you have a MRI of your dogs spine that is of help but not required. Chiropractic is safe for dogs with disc issues and should be your first intervention rather than surgery which is the last resort.

Chiropractor fof horses north shore and rhode island- back pain in horses - saddle fit

A simple way of checking saddle fit is the "pill box" method. Take a medication container ( cylinder shape ) and place it on the seat of your saddle while it is on your horse with no pad. Where the med container comes to rest is your balance point, it may be too far forward or back.  Now take the pad and place it on your horse with the saddle on the pad, if the bottle stays in the same place or moves take note. Remeber a pad is not always the answer to an unbalanced saddle, your horse may need a chiropractor and a visit from the saddle fitter.

Another great observation to make is the shoulder symmetry which changes saddle fit. Draw a chaulk line from the back of the shoulder blades ( scapula) up to the spine. Stand on a box behind your horse w hands on the butt and a friend holding the neck and head straight. Observe if the lines meet or is one forward to the other. Any uneven lines will make the saddle twist and cause pressure points.  A chiropractic  visit , or farrier,and or massage should be considered before u get a pad or change saddles.

Saddle fit and tender sensitive back in your horse - chiropractor for horses north shore, shouth shore and cape cod

Your horse changes dimensions during the year from summer to winter as well as when they age. Ideally you should have your saddle checked 2 times per year. Not having your saddle checked is a major cause of subluxation and sensitive back. Not to mention this will cause you to become off balance further aggravating the situation.

Sensitive Back in a horse - Back Pain Horse - Chiropractor for Horses Mass- north shore and All New England

A sensitive back is a common complaint from owners. As a certified animal chiropractor and instructor at Options for Animals Chiropractic College I have heard this often. The cause can be varied but something your Vet will almost never tell you is that the cause could be you. Yes as a writer for Centered Riding I have adjusted many riders as well as their horses and have had super results in re-balancing the two.

If your body is not balanced then the pelvis will exert uneven pressure on your horse's back giving them the possible wrong message. Your horse wants to stay balanced and not drop you so this in turn will cause subluxation in the horse due to abnormal pressure.

My service is unique in the fact that I will bring my portable table to your barn and adjust you and your horse. My 30 years of experience gives me an insight that many other doctors do not as well as I ride too.

Chiropractic adjustments along w moist heat to the affected joint as well as some stretches will help.
