Slipped disc in dogs - chiropractor for dogs south shore boston- cape cod and boston
First of all the disc does not slip, it bulges or herniates. Both of these conditions may be helped by animal chiropractic.
The gel inside the disc can bulge outwar creating pressure on nerves that travel to organs and muscles. If your vet feels that the disc is bulging or herniating it may be a good idea to bring your dog to the canine chiropractor as long as they have not lost use of the leg and or bladder control.
Chiropractic adjustments involving traction and rehab exercises will help. Many times i advise the owner to also use acupuncture in conjunction. I have helped many dogs in this situation.
