Many agility dogs develop neck and back pain as a result of subluxations within the cervical and thoracic spine.
Dogs carry 60 percent of their weight on the front legs, add to this stress the act of an A Frame and jumps and the stress increases.
The shoulder, upper back and neck take on the stress and if there exists a subluxation [ locked up joint irritating a nerve} then performance drops such as knocking down poles and lameness.
