Lameness changes movement in all areas of the animal due to compensation. It is imperative to evaluate all areas of the animal. Many times if the lameness is in the front the actual cause imay be in the hind end.
When I see the dogs and horses I always evaluate the entire animal. If you use your dog or horse in a performance activity such as agility and dressage or jumping then your animal needs regular chiropractic evaluations to keep your animal at their optimum. You as an owner are asking them to do activity that is beyond the normal day to day life of the animal thus the need to have ongoing chiropractic evaluations will keep them bio-mechanically sound.
Animal Chiropractic evaluates the animal on a bio-mechanical level not just on a disease or injury level.
