low back pain - chiropractor south shore boston for low back pain.

The Piriformis muscle stabilizes the hip and sacroiliac [ pelvis/sacrum ]. When you have low back pain this muscle is affected and must be treated as well. I use cold laser therapy, foam roller and specific exercises that I give the patient to do at home. My 32 years of experience and being certified in sports injuries as well as Boston Marathon Chiropractic Director sets me apart from other chiropractors.

If you have low back pain please contact Dr Bruce at indekchiropractic@gmail.com or call 781-337-1180.

hip pain in dogs - lame dog rear leg - chiropractor for dogs south shore boston, cape cod, nantucket, boston

This is the Gluteus Medius Muscle in your dog. This muscle goes from the pelvis to the femur. Movement produced by this muscle is extension of the hip. If there is a loss of normal Sacroiliac motion then this muscle will be affected and your dog will have problems bringing the rear leg back as well as decreased jumping. Adjustments to the sacroiliac, myofascial work to the muscle along with cold laser will improve this condition.

problem with shoulder in dog. shoulder pain in dogs- chiropractor for dogs south shore boston, cape cod, nantucket, boston

This muscle is the biceps of the dog. It extends the shoulder and flexes the elbow. The nerve supply to this muscle comes from the lower neck and upper thoracic spine. If your dog has problems in extending the front leg this muscle may be at issue as well as a subluxation in the neck and or upper back. Many agility dogs that I adjust have an issue with weave poles and jumps, sometimes this is the problem.

shoulder pain in dogs - agility dogs -chiropractor for dogs south shore boston and cape cod

I have been adjusting dogs this past weekend at the AKC National Agility Show in Harrisbury PA and have noticed a very common problem that occurs in many agility and non-agility dogs, and that problem is within the scapula of the shoulder.

The scapula referred to the wing by many is plagued with muscle tightness which can be caused by abnormal gait pattern and subluxation of the cervical [neck] and upper thoracic [upper back]. Jumping off a bed, out of a car and doing jumps like in agility can cause this problem.

The fix is to have an animal chiropractor evaluate the region and do some adjustments, cold laser, and give the owner some home remedies in the form of exercises to correct the problem.
