Animal Chiropractic
Animal Chiropractic
General Info Chiropraxis is a manual treatment performed by a trained therapist. It can help with many musculoskeletal problems. The main focus is on the treatment of the patient's spine. However, malfunctions in the joints of the limbs can also be treated successfully.An impaired spinal function not only leads to local problems and pain, but also affects the entire nervous system and the organism via the spinal cord Chiropraxis referred to as "blockade". In addition to the above-mentioned effects, this blockage leads to considerable pain in the patient and thus to a further restriction of movement, which can significantly reduce the quality of life of an animal. When adjusting a joint in chiropraxis, a targeted and quick push or pull is usually done with the hands or fingers exercised on the movement unit to be treated. This push or pull - called "Thust" or "Adjust" - ensures that natural stimulation is restored through targeted stimulation of the central nervous system. The aim of this form of treatment is therefore to mobilize, reduce pain and normalize the interaction of muscles and joints. Furthermore, the nervous and vascular supply to the muscles, joints and organs is improved and the patient is thus given a large part of his quality of life. It is often unthinkable for observers and animal owners that these small and very specific impulses can achieve so much. But this is precisely the mode of action of the correctly applied chiropraxis: the therapist deliberately sets very small, very targeted impulses on the nervous system that are not small but very large in their effects and also gentle and painless for the patient.
Chiropractic in dogs The application area of animal chiropractic specializing in dogs is large. For example, chiropraxis is used in the following cases: preventive or supportive in dog leisure or professional sport as accompanying therapy to improve or restore joint functions in geriartric patients to restore mobility after surgical interventions.But in normal everyday life, too, many dogs are restricted by blockages that prevent themselves through boisterous running, playing, jumping or even through a single "wrong" movement and then, if left untreated, can lead to massive problems. The breed, the age, the state of training or the attitude of the dog play a subordinate role. A blockage can occur in both the young dog and the geriatric patient, and if there is a blockage, it usually does not go away on its own. The dog loses its flexibility and joy of movement and quickly shows consequences of this limitation, such as muscle tension and pain that lead to a careful posture. The affected dog takes this protective posture to make the pain bearable. However, this leads to a changed use of his body, which then leads to further pain and a changed motor skills. Possible long-term consequences can be: herniated discs formation of arthrosis ligament or tendon problems Since the use of chiropraxis eliminates the cause, and thus the problem is grabbed and eliminated at the root, it is becoming increasingly important. It is an effective, holistic, gentle and painless form of therapy that can be used on any dog. Regular monitoring of your dog will lead to long-term health and maintenance or improvement of mobility and serious consequences can be prevented.
Chiropractic for horses We work with our horses to the best of our knowledge and belief and try to adapt to the needs in training or in daily work and to do our best. Nevertheless, we sometimes notice that something is "wrong" and the horse, for example, resists or eludes certain movements. Usually, even the smallest change in behavior and movement can be traced back to a restriction in the musculoskeletal system. Something in the movement process no longer works as smoothly as yesterday, even if no clinical findings can be seen. However, it is usually difficult to find the triggering moment. Our horses rely on our feelings and give us information about their condition through their movement, their behavior, their willingness to perform and their rideability. Horses often have exactly these previously unknown problems. The breed and age of the horse, riding style and use are irrelevant. The problems arise in everyday life through various movements. Once a joint is blocked, it has a huge impact on the entire organism. If left untreated, there can be further consequences: possibly severe physical problems, significant restrictions on movement, pain, inflammation in the affected spine segment and thus a narrowing in the area of the exit point for the nerve root and the nerve cord. The goal of animal chiropractic with a specialization in horses, related to muscles and joints, is: the mobilization the pain reduction, normalization of the interplay, restoration of mobility Meaning too. It is an effective, holistic, gentle and painless form of therapy that can be used on any horse. Regular inspection of your horse can have a preventive effect and helps it to maintain its joy of movement and above all the possibility of movement into old age and serious consequences can thus be prevented. .
