My breeder suggested that I find a chiropractor. I am skeptical of holistic medicine, but try to keep an open mind. Having tried every supplement and medicine, this was a last resort. The mission of the AVCA is to advance chiropractic as a health care choice for animals. The goal is to bring relief of pain and suffering for animals and bring the veterinary and chiropractic professions together for a common and higher goal in the health care of animals.
Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to many of the health and performance problems of the dog.
Chiropractic does not replace traditional veterinary medicine or surgery, but provides an alternative method of care. Chiropractic focuses on the health and proper functioning of the spinal column. Liz first saw Spirit he was two years post-surgery. Spirit's surgical results were rated good to excellent, but degenerative joint disease of the knee and a chronic sacroiliac misalignment were causing him problems. Then did a series of spinal and pelvic adjustments to restore normal motion to the joints.
