An Introduction To A Veterinary Chiropractor

By Essie Osborn


The treatment which is carried out by a chiropractor was introduced in 1895 within the USA by D. D Palmer. There is some small variations of the work which is carried out by a veterinary chiropractor but they use the same basic principle and this principle is based on living organisms consisting of matter. There is however some elements which cannot be accounted for under the category of matter. It is this basic concept which separates this type of medicine from all other forms of medicine.

Animal chiropractors tend to focus more on the relationship that exists between the nervous system and the spine. How one of these has an impact on the other is how the corrective measures can be implemented and adopted in order get treatment for the affected animal.

Animal chiropractors in the city of Pittesburgh, PA and their colleagues in other areas study the musculo- skeletal system in a lot of detail and this helps them to get a good understanding of how to diagnose the problem. The ability to diagnose the problem can go a great way to being able to treat the problem area.

Prior to seeing an animal chiropractor it is important to get advice from a vet. Nowadays there is an increasing number of vets who are starting to offer chiropractor services. The veterinary surgeon will be able to diagnose the cause of the problem and then they will be able to give advise on the best course of treatment. In the minor cases it is possible the problem could clear up without any form of treatment however in some the problem will need treatment. It is advisable to seek veterinary advice as quickly as possible if you think there might be a problem, as this will make it easier to treat.

Chiropractors tend to study the tissue and the muscle and they will also do a detailed study of the posture of the animal as this can help them to understand the problem. The way in which the animal moves its spine will be examined and they will be checked to see if there are any signs of a spasm of the muscles. Any strange movement will indicate that there is a problem.

After the problem has been diagnosed the chiropractor can decide on the best course of action. The aim of the treatment is to being the body back to the level at which it is meant to be. This treatment can be very relaxing for the animal and most animals enjoy it. After the body has returned to its normal level then the animal can return to its normal routine.

All of the animal that undergo this treatment will to be given some aftercare. If the correct aftercare is not provided it can result in the animal developing an immense pain. Some animals will take longer than others to recover depending on how bad the case was.
