Docs is contacted by many pet owners on a daily basis when their loved family member is in crisis, showing signs of lameness/pain and sometimes unable to move at all after exhausting all other option. It is Docs vision however for his chiropractic treatments to be sourced as a maintenance for animals by pro-active owners - a preventative rather than a response treatment. Treating puppies from 3 months of age will ensure your dog grows up "in alignment" and muscles will be toned with exercise to prevent the movement issues many older dogs dont need to face. What does Doc do? Doc performs chiropractic adjustments and muscle manipulation techniques, involving inspection and identification of muscle soreness and injury, and appropriately treats individual conditions with his years of hands-on experience and vast knowledge. About Docs treatments Docs chiropractic treatments are a holistic approach requiring stimulation and gentle handling, starting from the base of the skull opening up the Atlanto-Occipital joint, then going down the spine to the tail bone. All body parts are covered in Docs treatments, they are all connected. Docs bond with animals is evident during his treatment - animals relax and respond well to best benefit. Have a look at the "video" page to view Docs treatments. Docs Treatment Fees Doc is currently only running a "mobile business". This means that he travels to your home to treat your animal. Fees are variable depending on location. Email Doc for a specific quote to have your pet treated today. There will never be extra costs or charges from what you are quoted in your email response. Docs treatment includes Docs Fee includes diagnosis of symptoms by Doc, travel fees/tolls and time incurred to get to and from your residence, full body chiropractic adjustments to release your dogs pinched nerves (not just one body part because they are all connected!), laser acupuncture and anti-inflammatory gel/magnetic therapy machines (if required) to help reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to muscles and repair muscle/soft tissue injuries, reiki/spiritual healing and anything else that may be required to be done to fix your loved one the fastest and the best that Doc can. When should you contact Doc? Contact Doc immediately when you notice your dog is "moving differently". Treatment at the first sign of any symptoms will help to avoid further problems developing. Lameness can quickly deterioriate to a severe lack of mobility/paralysis. Early diagnosis and treatment will minimise the requirement for operations and/or long term medication for your loved one, and of course increasing expenses. Dogs and Pain Generally speaking, dogs begin to move differently because it hurts them to move normally! Being pack animals dogs are reluctant to show weakness for in the wild the pack would take out the weakest animal. Due to this inherited genetic trait you will not see symptoms in your dog until the pain is so great that they have no choice. "I only just noticed my dog doing this".... You may have only just noticed your dog limping or acting differently but long before this time your dog has most likely made some subtle changes to the way s/he has been moving to minimise their pain. Small things you may not have noticed for example are, taking shorter steps and not reaching as far forward with front legs.....and not pushing/driving back as far with their rear legs. In some dogs it is evident in the muscle wastage they have in their limbs that they have been out of alignment for a long time unbeknownst to those that see them every day. How will Doc know what is wrong with your dog? Doc will diagnose your dogs problems by observing his/her gait, stance and demeanour, with his high level of intuition and years of experience and knowledge with breeding showing and treating all sorts of animals. How long will it take to fix my dog? Results are instant, as is the pain relief for your dog, however as per the above explanation given that most dogs have been out of alignment for a long time by the time they show symptoms that owners notice and then find their way to Doc, one treatment will not forever fix all of your dogs issues. For lasting results Doc must get into the deeper layers where the long term issues are to release nerves and fix your dog to the high standard he maintains. Doc will discuss a treatment plan with your dog once he has seen him/her in the flesh. Perfect example of how to house your lame dog ......off slippery floors....until Doc gets to him/her
SYMPTOMS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT _468.jpg?365) These symptoms can lead to your dog being paralysed if left untreated:
CAUSES OF SYMPTOMS: Isolating the cause of your dogs injuries will help towards reducing the re-occurence of their symptoms. Being able to remove/reduce what caused your dogs problems in the first place will make for a more effective treatment by Doc for your dog and will also mean your dog will be fixed with fewer treatments so you are not throwing money away!!
COMMON MISDIAGNOSIS OF SYMPTOMS:
See "Emails received" page for more common explanations received....
WHAT "NOT" TO DO: · Do Not put heat packs on your dog when they are sore If nerves are pinched this will only inflame the nerves, cause muscle spasm and not make your dog any more comfortable to manipulate your animal if they cant tell you what is wrong with them, how / what they believe they have to do to fix them, that they have dealt with your pets problem before and that they CAN fix them for you. If nerves are not released properly and in the right order added pressure can be put on joints / the brain, depending on which nerves are pinched, and cause excruciating pain and further damage. Sometimes it takes more treatments to fix the damage caused by other people's poor manipulations walking abnormally because it is in pain, to continue to do this (no matter how much your dog demands his/her walk) is the worst thing you could do until nerves have been released and pain subsides so full movement can return. You will only be toning your dogs muscles to hold him/her "out of alignment" by doing this. other dogs that you have. It may seem cruel to separate them and they may protest loudly but your dog could become unusually aggressive towards the other dog due to pain. Also what your dogs do together, could be what has caused their symptoms in the first place! After a treatment the good work can be undone by immediate rough play, especially because your dog will feel great after a treatment and want to play like crazy. If your dog had been out of alignment for a long period of time and has any muscle wastage, it wont take much of a bump from another dog to "go back out". Prevent this from happening by separating them until Doc gets your dog in full health again. FACTS will not go away on its own. With rest, symptoms may subside but not for long. only mask up the problem. You may see your dogs symptoms diminish however this will not fix what is causing the problem - the medication does not address what caused the pain in the first place and symptoms often return. can do his job but when he leaves your home the changes you need to make to stop problems reoccuring for your animals are up to you!)- see my "video" page SOME SCENARIOS: If your dog is not walking properly: For example, not fully reaching forward with their front legs or pushing back with their rear legs, your dogs muscles/body is not working as it should and you need to do something about it before it gets worse - do not just keep doing what you have been doing! If your dog cannot lose weight: If your dog is not walking properly it will not lose weight easily. Muscles burn fat. If your dogs muscles are not working fully, due to your dog not being able to stretch out and walk properly because of pain, then no matter how much exercise they do it is impossible for them to efficiently burn fat Limited movement is due to: Your dog experiencing pain when it does walk normally. Walking incorrectly for a long period of time will lead to your dog having muscle wastage, rather than muscles building up from exercise. No amount of exercise will help until nerves are released so the pain and muscle spasm goes away and they can walk normally pain free again and work their muscles. Muscles hold bones in place and: If your dogs muscles waste away bones/joints can easily slip out of alignment. Slipping out of alignment results in nerves being pinched and leads to symptoms being exhibited (eg limping) which might be what has lead you to my website. Dogs have a high pain tolerance: And, being pack animals, are reluctant to show weakness therefore you will not see major symptoms until the pain gets too much for them and they have no choice. If you havent noticed the little changes in your dogs composition earlier (dip/roached back, crabbing etc) it will seem like your dog has "suddenly deteriorated overnight" but this is not the case - your dog has had problems for a long time..... Don't despair though - contact me, I can fix your dog today! VIDEO TREATMENTS TO DEMONSTRATE AND EVIDENCE DOCS ABILITY TO HELP ANIMALS IN PAIN: OLD DOG AT BOARDING KENNEL UNABLE TO MOVE
EMAIL RECEIVED FROM CLIENT - VET SUGGESTED MRI FOR HER DOG AND OTHER UNAFFORDABLE THINGS, OTHERS SAID EUTHANASIA WAS THE ONLY WAY......SOPHIA IS DOING WELL AND WALKING LIKE AN ANGEL AND IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 2 YEARS SINCE DOC LAST TREATED HER - SHE IS 13 YEARS OF AGE NOW GERMAN SHEPHERD (2009) LAME BULL TERRIER X (2010) I dont know if you can help me as we live in Rockhampton but you may know someone who can. I have been looking for help for quite some time. Due to his lack of mobility he is tending to put on weight which is exasburating is situation. He only gets 1/4 cup dog biscuits and small bone daily. He should be 25kg and is now 29-30kg.
I think we have sat on this problem for way too long as the vet recommended we should wait and see. He had all the xrays and as you said nothing showed up relating to the nerves. Bunjie's initial accident occured a couple of years ago so as you can imagine he has already suffered the muscle wasting in his back end. A month ago he fell down the stairs and he has reverted back to how he was when he just starting walking again. Some days he can't even walk around the house yard without falling over, not to mention squatting when he has to open his bowels. We have been trying to locate a chiropracter here but don't seem to be having too much success.
