McTimoney Chiropractic Treatment for Animals


Can McTimoney Chiropractic help ANIMALS?

McTimoney Chiropractic Treatment for Animals - image of dog & catLike people, animals can suffer from back, neck, pelvic and musculoskeletal problems and can benefit from McTimoney chiropractic manipulation. Trauma is often the most obvious cause e.g. falls, accidents, slipping etc. Modern agility competitions often include tight turns and twisty courses. More subtle causes are conformation problems, such as long or weak backs, excess weight and even dental problems.

The McTimoney chiropractic method has been helping animals for over forty years. It is a non-invasive technique which does not involve the use of drugs or anaesthetic. The adjustments are carried out purely by hand and most animals accept this quite readily.

By manipulating any misaligned joints throughout the whole body, with special attention to the spine and pelvis, it helps both to restore and maintain health, soundness and performance. It works holistically to eliminate the cause, not just to treat the symptoms, and is also particularly effective as preventative care.

DOGS

In addition to trauma, including road traffic accidents, dogs can incur problems from modern competitions (greyhounds and agility dogs), and conformation (dachshunds, bassetts, etc). These include:
