Fastgals Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi all, I'm seeking chiro or bowen for our 13 year old grey, Maggie, who we believe has lumbosacral stenosis. With the recent flare up of this condition in the past three weeks she has also become incontinent (urinary). Stilboestrol and a new generation anti-inflam/pain killer provided very short term relief from incontinence, but quickly became ineffective. From what I've read I am extremely concerned that the incontinence associated with LS very quickly becomes chronic and incurable, so I'm looking to urgently try some alternative treatments for her - primarily manipulation or bowen. I'm thinking of taking her to Chris Boeme in Keysborough (Melbourne). Can anyone please recommend anyone else in the Melbourne metro area - or close by? Thanks, Jane.

Rascalmyshadow Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Barry Haywood in Pearcedale? is awsome, he is an excellent chiro. We have used him after spending a couple of $1000 on a dog with no answers, he had the problem fixed in 3 visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastgals Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks for your suggestions. After much thought and a discussion with Maggie's vet, I've decided to try acupuncture rather than manipulation. Since I posted, Maggie has had a good day, and today a not so good day and I am very concerned at how quickly her discomfort level seems to be increasing. The vet/acupuncturist I'm taking her to this week has had some excellent results with lumbar related disorders...so I'm hoping... Thanks again, Jane.

Michelleva Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I've had a bowen therapist work on my dog, she's in Frankston if you want her details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarian Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 If you do decide on Bowen, then Melissa from Pawsitive Therapies is brilliant. Pm me for her details. She is north/western region but travels to you. Sags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastgals Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks Michelleva and Sagittarian - I have decided against chiro, but I haven't ruled out Bowen. S - thanks for the Pawsitive Therapies reference. M - I'll PM you for the Frankston practitioner's details. Regards, Jane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
