Specifically, Harry is being treated utilizing a technique developed by two chiropractors earlier this century. The first technique developed by Dr. Logan requires that pressure be applied on 2 points on either side of his tail that realigns Harry's lower back. One of the most exciting things that we see happen in almost all of the animals we treat is an improvement in the animal's attitude. Owners tell us all the time about how good the animal feels after an adjustment. Chiropractic care takes time, since we are allowing the body to heal itself after the proper nerve functioning has been restored.
Animals recover very rapidly as a rule, but older animals and more serious problems take more time.
Some problems are so serious that chiropractic care will not completely solve the problem. Sometimes referrals for laboratory analysis or radiographs may be necessary. This is the case when problems such as fractures may be present. The length of time that the problem has been present. The more time that has elapsed since the onset means that the recovery may take longer.
