The Spotted Devil Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I've just had a home visit by a qualified animal chiropractor - I'm so impressed with the results. Zig wasn't in any obvious pain but I had noticed that he looked a little stiff through his mid spinal region. The practitioner was very gentle with Zig (who just wanted to play ) and the difference in him was immediately obvious. Well worth the money spent and pretty reasonable at that!

Doggrooma Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Absolutly, My Stafford sustained an unexplainable injury to his shoulder and pulled his back end out. I took him straight to my Chiro, who fixed him straight away but is pretty rough so I found someone else who is actually an Osteo, she combines her knowledge of both. I swear by mine. At the first sign of any discomfort or injury, no matter how small, he goes for a trip to see her, after all he is my no1 showdog!! P.S I dont know if anyone else notices this but if something happens its always just before a show!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Every 2 weeks my two go to a guy in Hampton Park He does Canine Manipulation, he is fabulous! Problem or not we still go, so they get used the idea of it all. $15 a dog well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazz Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Not a fan of Chiro's but glad to hear that your dog feels better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Not a fan of Chiro's but glad to hear that your dog feels better Hazz - I know exactly what you mean - I don't like the idea of straight out manipulation and was a bit hesitant initially. But she spent quite some time massaging and stretching and everything just appeared to fall into place. The amazing thing was that I could visually see the difference in his top line and he moved much more freely. Thanks...I'm glad he feels better too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 We use Bowen every 2 months & pe booked for big events etc etc. I have used doggy chiros aswell for many years & still use them in emergencies & swear by there results just for us now the Bowen is much better on the large dogs. We have used chiros for over 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poodle wrangler Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 A friend is an osteopath (not unlike a chiro) and isn't a big fan of manipulation on it's own, either. He'd say, "well what do you think happens later?". The muscles pull the joint back out of alignment unless you also use stretching, massage, posture changes etc. on the muscles also.

becks Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Does this mean Zig is fully fit for the royal now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddii Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Both my guys go to a chiro/holistic/accupuncturist vet every two months for a check up. Sometimes there is nothing wrong, other times he's put things back on one, but has been treating the other as he recovers from a broken elbow. He is great - funny though, I still won't go and see a chiro myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
