Back pain is a symptom not a problem. Everyone is focused on fixing back pain when the real care should be focused on the cause of the pain. Think of it this way, if the pain and symptom disappears the cause may not. The medical model of care is to treat the symptom w pain killers and anti-inflam meds, and that is all. This is like spraying water on the smoke alarm and not the fire.
The spine and it"s mechanics are complex and I can tell you as I teach vets about
chiropractic they know very little about it"s function.there is just no time in vet school to learn this.
Seeking out a board cert animal chiropractor is your best step.
I rec exercise therapy that u can do at home as well
How often your dog should be adjusted dep on the issue. The next question is once ur dog is doing better how will it stay that way. The answer is w wellness chiro visits and exercise. Typically once per month for wellness seems to work best. Each time I eval ur dog and make adjustments where needed to keep them "tuned up"
