How chiropractic works. |
Why treatment can help with other disorders. |
Will an adjustment hurt? |

Working dog is chiropractic
patient.
-
The bones of the spine and joints are
maintained in a specific alignment.
-
The nerves which surround each joint and
vertebral articulation are in constant communication with the central
nervous system, brain and all organs.
-
When even a subtle change in the alignment
occurs, it is called a subluxation.
-
Subluxations affect the nervous system, local
muscles, joints and even distant organs, glands and body functions.
|

Start chiropractic care early.
-
All organs receive nervous system input from
nerves which exit between vertebra.
-
Correcting subluxations of these areas can
change the nervous system input and affect blood flow, as well as hormone
and neurotransmitter levels directly affecting the organs and glands, skin
and joints.
|

Driver and horse are
chiropractic patients.
-
Most animals accept both the exam and adjustment without
signs of pain.
-
When a painful area is found, the practitioner will use the
gentlest techniques to reduce pain before delivering an adjustment.
-
In cases of acute or extreme pain, the doctor will often
delay the complete adjustment until your companion can be relaxed.

 |
How can anyone adjust
a horse or a dog? |
What can I expect after
an adjustment? |
|
Why doesn't one adjustment
resolve the problem?
-
In the case of a recent
injury or subluxation, one adjustment may be adequate, but a follow-up is
needed to assure your companion is well.
-
Often no outward signs
occur to let owners know when a subluxation occurs.
-
When long term problems
reach the point of noticeable pain or outward signs, the doctor may need
to do several adjustments.
