Pain can be caused by many factors. The nerves that sense pain enter the spinal cord and synapse [communicate] with 5 levels above and 5 levels below at the level of the spinal cord. This means that pain can be transmitted to many different areas of the body even though they are not the source of the pain. A Chiropractor is the only Doctor trained in functional neuroanatomy and if the cause of the pain needs to be treated then contact a certified animal chiropractor [american vet chiropractic assoc - AVCA]. Once your vet has determined the cause is not due to a disease process contact the animal chiropractor.
