The shoulder blade known as the scapula is suspended in muscle and is free floating. There is no collar bone [clavicle] in your dog so there is an vast range of motion that can occur on the front limbs. These muscles that suspend the scapula are attached to the spine and powered by nerves in the spine. If there is a shoulder injury there will be a subluxation in the neck and or upper back of your dog as well. These subluxations will short circuit the nerves that control the muscles and thus inhibit healing of the shoulder.To help heal this issue chiropractic adjustments, cold laser and some rehab exercises are essential.
