Wessex  Chiropractic

Many animals can benefit from chiropractic care, but the reality is that the ones most frequently seen in clinic are dogs.  Any dog - from the much loved family pet who is suffering with arthritis as he ages to the top level agility dog - is welcome. With all complementary treatment of animals your vet is the one who diagnoses conditions and approves treatment.  This is a legal requirement prior to commencing care and applies to ANY ANIMAL THERAPIST.  

The following list gives you an idea of those which may be helped by chiropractic care.  Your vet and chiropractor can always discuss appropriate therapy options.  

• Diagnosed conditions such as degenerative arthritis or spondylitis

• Abnormal posture - e.g.: puppy sitting - adult dog sitting with legs out to one side

• Problems or difficulty with certain movements - (climbing stairs, jumping into the car, agility obstacles)

• Grooming problems - sensitivity to touch

• Injuries resulting from falls, training or other activities

• Problems eating or refusing to play with toys

• Short striding, uneven strides, nail dragging or stumbling

• Lick granuloma - obsessive licking which may result in sores or discolouration
