WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR PET'S 1ST ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT

The adjustments given to pets typically involve gentle thrusts to the spine and/or extremity joints applied in a specific way. Adjustments to an animal is very different compared to an adjustment to a person. The anatomy and angles of the joints are quite different, and if a professional is not properly trained, your pet could be at greater risk of injury.

Some pets will feel the need to rest after their first animal chiropractic adjustment, this is completely normal as the body is already beginning to repair itself. It is perfectly normal to see an initial improvement in the animal’s condition, followed by a relapse. In general, they will have greater mobility, less pain, be more alert and playful and have an improved gait.

In some cases, the pet is sore the next day, especially if they have never been adjusted before. Depending on the severity of the injury or problem, your pet might experience improvements within the first 72 hours. The doctor will give you his/her recommendations for a home protocol specific to your pet’s condition at the time of your visit, which will often consist of no strenuous exercise, ice therapy, massage or stretching/strengthening exercises.

Just as in chiropractic care for humans, it may be necessary to schedule some additional sessions in order for your dog or cat to reap the maximum benefits from the adjustments. It’s important to remember that each adjustment builds on the next, and if you wait too long to come back for the follow-up appointment, the results will not be as effective.

Results from the adjustments usually manifest within one to three days. Below are some factors which may affect the number of visits and/or efficacy of the treatment:

Concurrent health conditions (obesity, diabetes, etc.)
Poor diet
Age of the animal
Chronicity of the problem
Severity of the reduced range of motion or problem being treated
Home care compliance
Activity level/muscle mass

WHAT'S THE FUSS WITH ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC, AND WHY DO MY PETS NEED IT?

The easiest answer is to keep them happy and healthy. Chiropractic affects the spine and nervous system, which is essentially the computer of your pet’s body. Bones of the spine can become misaligned, or stuck, and cause pressure on the nervous system. Any abnormal input or output to the nervous system will cause things to breakdown and not communicate properly, therefore causing disease and dysfunction within the body.

Most commonly, owners seek chiropractic treatment for pets if they observe them not moving properly or if they appear to be in pain. Your pet may limp or favor one side of the body, may stop playing, or decide to lie down and not move at all. While chiropractic is most certainly necessary at these times, problems can be starting well before your animal shows any obvious signs or symptoms. It is always a good idea to get your pets checked by a certified animal chiropractor as a preventative measure to keep them as healthy as possible. It is much easier to get an asymptomatic problem under control than it is to wait until significant damage has been done to the tissues.

Chiropractic is a great addition to traditional veterinary medicine, particularly if you wish to promote optimal wellness and quality of life for your animal. Animals of all shapes and sizes benefit from chiropractic care, whether they are young, aging, athletic, or simply four-legged family members.
