Chiropractic Care for Dogs
At Trilogy Chiropractic, we understand that every dog is unique, with specific needs and challenges regarding their spinal health and overall well-being. That’s why our experienced dog chiropractors, Drs. Paul and Brianna Cundiff tailor their approach to address your canine friend’s requirements, considering factors such as breed, age, size, and lifestyle.
Breed-Specific Spinal Challenges
Different dog breeds are prone to various spinal and musculoskeletal issues due to their unique body structure, size, and genetic predispositions. Some common breed-specific challenges include:
German Shepherds
Prone to hip dysplasia and degenerative myelopathy, which can cause weakness, pain, and mobility issues.
Dachshunds
Their long backs make them susceptible to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), which can lead to pain, nerve damage, and paralysis.
Bulldogs
Their short, stocky build can contribute to spinal misalignments, breathing difficulties, and joint problems.
Labrador Retrievers
Like German Shepherds, they are prone to hip dysplasia and other joint issues, especially as they age.
Chihuahuas
Their small size and delicate structure can make them vulnerable to injuries and misalignments, particularly in the neck and back.
A dog chiropractor can help address these breed-specific challenges by identifying and correcting spinal misalignments, promoting proper nervous system function, and supporting overall musculoskeletal health.
Addressing the Needs of Working and Athletic Dogs
Working and athletic dogs, such as those involved in agility competitions, hunting, or herding, face unique bodily demands that can lead to spinal misalignments and other musculoskeletal issues. Regularly visiting a dog chiropractor can help them maintain optimal performance, prevent injuries, and extend their working lives.
Our dog chiropractors work closely with owners and trainers to develop personalized care plans that address the specific needs of working and athletic dogs. Chiropractic care can help these dogs perform at their best by ensuring proper spinal alignment and nervous system function while minimizing the risk of injury and long-term wear and tear.
Supporting Senior Dogs and Those with Chronic Conditions
As dogs age, they become more susceptible to spinal and joint issues, such as arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and hip dysplasia. These conditions can cause significant pain, reduced mobility, and decreased quality of life. Chiropractic care can help manage these age-related challenges by reducing pain, improving flexibility, and promoting overall comfort.
For dogs with chronic conditions like arthritis or intervertebral disc disease, regular chiropractic adjustments can be an essential part of their ongoing care plan. By working in conjunction with veterinarians and other animal health professionals, our chiropractors help senior dogs and those with chronic conditions maintain the best possible quality of life.
Puppy Care: Setting the Foundation for a Healthy Spine
Proper spinal care starts early in life, and puppies can benefit greatly from chiropractic check-ups as they grow and develop. Puppies are prone to mishaps and injuries as they explore their world, and these incidents can lead to spinal misalignments that, if left untreated, may cause long-term problems.
Regular chiropractic evaluations during puppyhood can help identify and correct any misalignments early on, setting the foundation for a healthy spine and nervous system.
