dog licking - Lick infection - Lick Granuloma - Chiropractor for dogs Boston, Cape Cod and South Shore - Dr Indek

Dogs that lick to the point of the skin becoming raw and infected is a common problem with subluxation. It is always best to have your vet evaluate for infection and skin allergies. If this is not present then Subluxation is the cause and chiropractic is the answer.

Subluxation is a spinal joint that is stuck in motion and is causing a  nerve to be irritated in the spine resulting in an abnormal skin sensation. These sensations would be like the tingling or pain that a human experiences with sciatica. This can happen in the neck and or the low back commonly. Your dog is licking to stimulate the area and aid in healing but it will not help him so he keeps licking and eventually causes a secondary infection.

Having your dog adjusted by a certified animal chiropractor for a few visits along with possibly cold laser and some other home aids will often help.

chiropractic for dogs with back problems and horses with back pain - chiropractor for animals south shore boston

Non-Linear Dynamics and the explanation of how your adjustment has such far reaching effects- WOW! If you are thinking that I have spent too much time over at MIT the answer is no,lol. But this little explanation will help you understand how this Chiropractic endeavor works based on ... Yes science:

Linear systems are Newtonian in nature meaning that Newtons law of motion states that a body at rest tends to stay at rest and one in motion tends to stay in motion until an outside force is exerted on them. This law of Newton mechanics for many years accounted for motion of virtually any object. Linear systems also work on the theory that "what you put in is proportional to what is put out." Well in living systems this just does not play out. The auditory system shows us that a very small sound stimulus can have a very large response in the hair cells of the inner ear. So a non-linear system is at play here in the auditory system where upon non-linear systems function on the concept that output is not proportional to input.

A Physiological principle known as the Arndt-Schultz Law states
1. Small doses of force stimulate functions in living organisms with little or no inhibition.
2. Larger doses of force initially stimulate and then equally inhibit function.
3. Very large forces dramatically stimulate function for a very short time only and dramatically and for long periods of time inhibit, even to the point of death.

SOOOO lets think about the adjustment ... More force is probably a bad idea! In fact the High velocity Low amplitude force is why Chiropractic adjustments have such a awesome effect on stimulating function. If you used high amplitude you would actually do the reverse of your intention [too much force}.  Effects on the nervous system are thus far reaching!!

Dogs with back pain-chiropractor for dogs south shore boston, cape cod, boston

Dogs with back pain will exhibit the "roached" back. This is where the back arches up due to muscle spasm. Your vet will probably prescribe muscle relaxers and pain killers. These drugs will make your dog feel better but will not correct the problem. Usually the symptoms subside and owners think the dog is better and usually the problem returns and can be worse. Vets usually conclude it is a disc problem and order expensive tests, it is not usually a disc problem but more often a subluxation complex that chiropractic can fix.

Please contact a certified animal chiropractor by the American Vet Chiropractic Assoc such as myself, do not allow your none certified human chiropractor to adjust your dog.
I make house calls as well, so please contact me at 781-337-1180 or email me at indekchiropractic@gmail.com

Foot pain - plantar fascitis - flat feet- chiropractor weymouth south shore boston

Foot pain can be caused by flat feet, plantar fascitis , subluxation in the foot/ankle, and low back.
Many people go to the foot doctor with no relief. The foot doctor usually will give you inserts for the shoes but this will not fix the cause. A mechanical problem within the foot bones and or the ankle is most likely the cause, so chiropractic adjustments to this mechanical fault along with laser treatment to the fascia and then inserts or shoe change will fix this.

arthritis in the spine - back pain - chiropractor weymouth mass

Arthritis is inflammation of joints. Often the joints degenerate as well. Your medical doctor will usually give you meds for pain and inflammation, this will not solve the problem and will cause side effects as well.

Chiropractic adjustments as well as cold laser therapy will improve motion, and decrease pain not to mention slow down the progression of arthritis. The adjustments can be as easy as a massage treatment in regards to pressure and movement.

why can't my dog bend his neck to drink or eat/ neck pain in dogs-chiropractor for dogs south of boston and boston as well as cape cod

The action of flexion [bending the head down] to eat or drink may indicate a subluxation in the neck as well as possible disk problems. These issues can even be in the upper to mid back region. Your dog may have tightness in the muscles along the spine due to these subluxations and thus cannot elongate these muscles in order to eat or drink.

Canine Chiropractor certified by the AVCA can determine if chiropractic can help and with some adjustments along with cold laser and some exercises many of these dogs return to normal.

neck problems with dogs as well as front leg lameness - chiropractor for dogs south shore of boston and boston mass

Your dog may have neck pain which can cause front leg lameness. The nerves from the neck control all the front leg muscles and joints, so a subluxation within the neck can cause nerve pinching and thus loss of muscle power in the front legs. Your dog may even have a locked shoulder which in turn can cause neck pain.

Subluxation in the neck and or shoulder can be caused by jumping off a high object or even from an ill fitting harness or collar.

Animal Chiropractors are specialized in diagnosing subluxations, your vet is not. Typically your vet will screen for other health ailments and when ruled out will prescribe anti inflam meds, and pain killers. These meds will not fix the mechanical subluxation complex but rather just cover up the symptoms.

As an Animal Chiropractor I will come to your house and evaluate your dog for subluxation and give them an adjustment, exercises and even cold laser if needed to help restore normal nerve function.
I travel throughout New England. Please contact Dr Bruce at indekchiropractic@gmail.com or phone at 781-337-1180.
