lame dog - Dog Chiropractor South Shore Boston, Cape Cod, Boston - Animal Chiropractor

Lameness in dogs can be caused by a back issue, shoulder, hip, or paw.  Many times owners will take their dog to the Vet and the Vet will not find any cause for the lameness and prescribe Meds only. After many years of providing Animal chiropractic to dogs I can tell you that the back or shoulder is often the cause.

Dogs carry 60 percent of their body wt on the front end and often the shoulder can be subluxated [stuck in motion] causing lameness. If the back is involved then more wt shifts to the front legs and thus lameness.

Back issues that are very common are Subluxations in the spine.
This condition is where the spinal joints get stuck in motion and irritate nerves and muscles. This condition is not treated by your vet which is why an Animal Chiropractor is essential.

Please call me with questions or to schedule an appointment. I make house calls.
