It’s not just a paw problem — it’s a whole-body problem! 🦴
Long nails change how your dog carries their weight, creating tension up through the legs, shoulders, and spine. Keep those nails short to help your pup move freely and stay aligned!

What Actually Happens During an Animal Chiropractic Session? 🔍

If your dog has IVDD, here's what to expect:

Assessment - The chiropractor examines spinal alignment and mobility
Gentle Adjustments - Quick, precise movements to realign vertebrae (not the "cracking" you're thinking of!)
Soft Tissue Work - Massage and stretching to support the adjustment
Home Care Plan - Exercises and tips to extend benefits
Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, and most dogs find them relaxing!

The goal? Reduce pressure on the affected disc, improve nerve function, and restore your dog's quality of life WITHOUT surgery.

IVDD Treatment: Surgery vs. Chiropractic Care 🤔

Let's talk facts:

Surgery:
💰 $3,000-$8,000
⏱️ 6-12 week recovery
⚠️ Risks of anesthesia
😰 Not always successful

Chiropractic Care:
💰 $50-150 per session
⏱️ Often see improvement in days
⚠️ Non-invasive, no anesthesia
✅ Can prevent need for surgery

We're not saying surgery is never needed - but shouldn't you try the safer option first?

Many dogs with mild to moderate IVDD respond beautifully to chiropractic adjustments combined with rest and proper care.

⚠️ DON'T IGNORE THESE SYMPTOMS ⚠️

IVDD can progress from mild to severe in HOURS. If your dog shows ANY of these signs, seek help immediately:

🚨 Sudden inability to walk
🚨 Dragging back legs
🚨 Loss of bladder/bowel control
🚨 Severe pain/crying
🚨 Paralysis

In emergency cases, you may need a vet immediately. But for mild to moderate IVDD, animal chiropractors can often help avoid surgery entirely.

Time matters! Early chiropractic intervention = better outcomes.
