megan_ Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 We see Michelle Monk at Dogs in Motion. She is a physio and is doing her Masters. She has a full set-up and is wonderful. She isn't cheap but on our first consult she spent an hour with Fergus, answered my many, many questions and gave me a written treatment and injury prevention plan.

RiverStar-Aura Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm glad this topic has come up. I've always wanting to know about chiro and massage for dogs. How do you know if you should take your dog to a chiro for treatment? Is chiro usually just for very active, agility dogs who are always jumping around?

persephone Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Is chiro usually just for very active, agility dogs who are always jumping around? No :) I used to take one of mine to help with his anxiety issues! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Anxiety? Never would've thought of that. How does the chiro help with that? Maybe Kirah will benefit from it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly worked some magic in teh days following treatments :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I take my dogs to Bowen now as she also treats me so I know how gentle and effective it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Any recommendations for chiropractors around Melbourne? Should have given this to you yesterday! Dr Georgia Davis www.optimalchiro.com.au/animal/index.html Georgia treats my dogs too, she has been seeing them for 5+ years. My Toller is in love with her. :laugh: She's very good at pin-pointing problems through gait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheridan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Would you take your dog to a chiro/massage person without getting xrays first? I wouldn't take my dog to a chiro at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 I thought I would update. Poppy went to see a chiro 2 weeks ago. He found a fair few issues. I saw a noticeable improvement immediately and a gradual improvement since. She has to go back in 2 weeks for another go. Pleased with how it went.

Tassie Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yay, Jules. That's great. It's so nice when you can see the improvement. Rory will be off to his acupuncture/massage doc this week - his lower back is out a bit I'm pretty sure - and Kirra will go for one of her fairly regular blissy maintenance/preventative sessions with him. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
