Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
Any one use these for their dog?
What is the result?
What is your opinion?
My 11 year old Mercy has the past few days squealed when jumping up on her chair or up the stairs.
Brought to the vets, he saw two vertabra that are a bit arthritic. But up till a couple days ago she was fine. I am thinkin she must have twisted something to cause those to affect her with the pain. She walks a little humped up right in that area. When she does tweak it her hair stands up on end for a while.
The vet did give us Metacam for the inflamation. But I don't like the stuff as it is hard on the stomach.
I use a chiropractor for me and it works for me?
What are your thoughts?
Than ks,
Rick

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
I have used a chiropractor for a couple of dogs with great results. Accupuncture is effective, also. Wonderful stuff.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
My husband works in a hospital and all his family are doctors or nurses, so take this with a grain of salt. Because chiropractic medicine flies in the face of what science knows about how the body works, in other words as their premise is wrong from the start, things are never right.
My father in law was a small town Doctor and there was a chiropractor also in town. My father in law would get the cases that the chiropractor had given up on. One day a woman with a fulminating breast tumor came in . She had only been seeing the chiropractor. My father in law was so mad/upset that he had to go home for the day.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
Resorted to one this year and have seen her 3 times with Rooster. I really noticed a difference in his flexibility and pain levels. He was also "down in the back" or looking like he was swaybacked (I think he pulled a muscle). After the second visit and second acupuncture treatment, he was like brand new. Now I don't know if it always works, but since dogs are not like humans and don't have the "placebo" effect that we might get from a visit to the doctor - they either respond or don't ... they don't really know anything has happened so they can't "feel better" unless they truly do feel better.
My sister swears by acupuncture and chiropractic work with her performance horses.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
Have used one with good results, she is a DVM/Chiropractor.
Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
They typically work really well, but you have to find a good one. A DVM/Chiropractor is the best option, you shouldn't use a human chiropractor that does work on dogs. I go to many agility trials and there are TONS of people that use them all the time for their dogs. There is even one guy that travels to all the trials. I don't think he does a good job but you should see the line of people waiting and most of those people swear by him. You may also want to look into some acupuncture to go along with the chiropractic. Maybe laser therapy too!
I hope your dogs starts feeling better very quickly.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
Without a doubt, chiropractic definitely works on dogs. A friend of mine has a dog that was having bad back problems, wasn't running right, etc. After the first session with a chiro, the dog was visibly relieved. A few sessions later, the dog was back to running like a bat out of he**.
Our boy Shooter has chiro sessions as needed and they also make a visible difference in his movement. I don't know what modern science says to explain why chiro won't work - but all I can tell you is that it does.
Someone mentioned acupuncture - also very effective. We had an old boy that got regular treatments for the last 2 years of his life. It made a huge difference in his quality of life.

I know that we have agreed on almost all things and posts on GDF, however, on this one we are certainly diametrically opposed. Since I am a Chiropractor in a small rural town of 10,000, with a patient base of 5500, I am certainly offended by your grain of salt! I work extremely closely with the Physicians in my town and treat most of them and their families. According to your premise, half of my town must be wrong. So here's my grain of salt, just take it for what it is worth, as I did yours.
AUTO ACCIDENTS 42,000 DEATHS PER YEAR----------UNREPORTED MEDICAL ERRORS-200,000
Heart disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory diseases and accidents (including car accidents) top the list for leading causes of death in the United States, but there is another killer that we are led to believe doesn't exist- death from medical error. Most individuals feel safe while checking in a hospital for a routine surgery and don't bat an eye before changing into the hospital gown and wearing the identity bracelet, but over the last decade hospitals have been revealed as a silent killer- sending relatively healthy individuals out of the hospital in body bags.
42,000 people die in fatal car accidents every year. Sadly, there are 200,000 deaths due to medical errors or infections contracted in hospitals that go unreported and unnoticed.
Among the fatal injuries taking unsuspecting lives in hospitals are; operating on the wrong part of the body, physician prescribed drug overdose, accidental cuts and tears to organs during surgery, surgical tools left inside the body, bloodstream infections from improper use of catheters, and MRSA infections. And most of these injuries go unreported to the health department and the public.
This problem was brought to the public's attention ten years ago in the report "To Err is Human" along with a list of ways to help reduce the occurrence of these deaths. So with all of this knowledge about the growing problem: why do these deaths continue to go unreported?
Inadequate or lack of regulation: Currently, only 20 states out of 50 require hospitals to report medical errors and in the states that do require reporting only a small fraction of instances actually get reported due to lack of enforcement and consequences. Hospitals receive no penalty for withholding information about medical error.
Underfunded Programs: Another great problem is that programs for reporting this data are grossly underfunded. Washington State's program only has enough budget to fund one staff member and not enough is left over to actually analyze the results and put an annual report together. This problem is prevalent throughout the states requiring reporting: New York's funds ran out and hasn't published a report since 2004 and the law in Texas requiring reporting expired in 2007 as did the funds to support the program.
Lack of reason to report is a problem with Doctors who would lose more by reporting the error than benefit. While doctors risk medical malpractice allegations and discipline if errors are reported they alter death certificates to exclude any information that could link medical error to the patient's death.
The Bottom Line: Another problem with reporting is hospital may lose money. Not only do hospitals not want patients to go to another place for care do to a record of medical errors, but they lose money when procedures are done correctly the first time. One hospital that did the prescribed changed from the report "To Err is Human" reduced the number of re-hospitalizations for cardiac patients by simply ensuring medications were correct. This was great for the patients, but the hospital lost $3.5 million from simply doing things correctly.
I am not trying to offend anyone or start a peeing match, but this quote is as bad as the Show or Field debate. Conformation is science and concrete, whereas ability is nurtured, enhanced, and judged. Animal Chiropractors do a great job and I would never pretend to be one. The mechanics of an animal are vastly different than those on a human.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
Rick - my 2 cents would be to try it and see if it makes a difference for your dog. Hate to see the dog in pain if there is something that could help.
Also - we have an old dog, 14 years, that has had crushed disks ($$urgery), has a narrowing of the vertebrae that is squeezing the cord, has a variety of other "old dog" maladies. We give him Glucosamine Chondroitin every day, and it seems to help an awful lot. Without it, he can't turn around in his crate, and he's very stiff in general, and yelps intermittently - licks his front feet a lot - likely a pain response. With the G-C daily, he can easily turn in his crate, is much more limber. His pain is still there, but seems to be less frequent.
Good luck.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
One thing to consider with chiropractic, as with any holistic treatment, is that you are working in the body as a whole unit, not just treating symptoms. It usually takes multiple adjustments to achieve the desired effect as the body readjusts itself. Hopefully the treatment will work for the dog in question. I've always been happy with the results for my dogs.

I guess the bottom line is that there is no accurate generalization about either one. There are competent professionals in each camp, and folks from each camp who do their jobs well every day and help rather than hurt.
In this case, with so many folks reporting positive and "drug-free" outcomes from the chiropractic experiences with animals, there sure must be something to it...

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
My problem with chiropractics over the long haul is just the opposite. It does treat the symptoms but does not treat the problem that allowed the body to get out of wack.Cajun Casey wrote:One thing to consider with chiropractic, as with any holistic treatment, is that you are working in the body as a whole unit, not just treating symptoms.

People can do what they want to do and if it helps and doesn't keep reappearing then you came out ahead but if you have to keep going back for the same problem then you haven't gained a thing for the money spent.

That was very nice to say . Thank you. I'm not offended at all. Our opinions are formed from our experiences in life which is why we all think differently. As my husband burns his buns in a hospital every day for 12 hours , it's hard for me not to be color blind. We have our problems in Ontario. Average wait time in emerg . is now up to 15 hours for the "not immediately dying".

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
That leaves the question of what experience you have had with chiropractic treatment of, particularly, dogs. I have personally had dogs treated and know many people who have had dogs, cats, horses and one three legged potbellied pig treated by chiropractors. The recommended, if needed, followup treatment for a dog of mine with a hip and elbow luxation on the same side from the vet who did the reduction included chiro. Could you share your experiences, please?ezzy333 wrote:I am not taking anything up with anyone but strictly saying that my opinion is different than what you posted as your opinion.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
This is ridiculous. Many times MDs are ignorant to what Chiropractic does. There is a reason that Tiger Woods has his own personal Chiropractor. Multi-million dollar horses are adjusted all of the time. Do you honestly think they would go through all of the trouble if it weren't effective? I can't believe we are even having this discussion.Sharon wrote:My husband works in a hospital and all his family are doctors or nurses, so take this with a grain of salt.

Of course it is worth it.

A very sincere thank you Sharon. A very sincere thank you to those supporting Chiropractic. I'd much rather return this post to the dogs.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Nope wasn't in the link, it said you must take a clinic and an examine, don't know if the clinic is for two days or 2 weeks.Cajun Casey wrote: I think the link I provided has that information. There are separate certifications for canine and equine, also, as well as CE requirements.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
After surfing through the links, it appears that the Certification Courses are given in 1 week long modules for 5 - 6 weeks over several months. They certainly did not appear to be cheap and there were only 5-6 places to take the courses.

Re: Animal Chiropractic yes or no?
The plan's great. Every citizen gets equal care whether poor or rich. No jumping the queu. The problem is that we need more nurses and doctors and the govt. to open up more beds.
