Can chiropractic help dogs with arthritis
👉🏻 Similar to people, joint inflammation and stiffness is a key factor to this condition.
Change in behavior or avoidance/reluctance to perform certain tasks are among one of the first signs. Particularly, difficulty changing position is pretty characteristic. A pet with arthritis may also be sensitive to weather changes (particularly, wet, damp, or colder weather) as the barometric changes will change the pressure within the joints
In pets with arthritis, an animal chiropractor will assess + adjust your pet's joints with the goal to improve motion and reduce affected areas of improper stress and strain. This can mitigate symptoms and help to improve overall mobility and comfort.
*It is important to work together with your vet team should your pet be dealing with this condition. Chiropractic is pretty amazing, but it is not a replacement for pain management and/or routine vet care.
