Tail Wags and Adjustments: What is Dog Chiropractic?

Ever noticed your dog limping after a particularly playful romp in the park? Or maybe they seem stiff and reluctant to climb the stairs lately. While aches and pains are a normal part of aging for our furry companions, there could be an underlying issue that a traditional vet visit might miss. That's where Peak Potential Chiropractic in Castle Rock, CO for dog chiropractic can help your dog unleash their peak potential.

What is Dog Chiropractic?

Dog chiropractic is a form of alternative holistic healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Just like human chiropractors, animal chiropractors find misalignments in the spine that can pinch nerves and disrupt the body's natural communication pathways. These misalignments, known as subluxations, can contribute to various health problems in dogs, including:

• Back pain and limping

• Hip dysplasia and arthritis

• Intervertebral disc disease

• Muscle tension and spasms

• Difficulty jumping or climbing stairs

• Lethargy and decreased activity

How does animal chiropractic work?

Through gentle adjustments our goal is to remove structural shifts in the spine and restore proper nerve function. The techniques used are similar to those used in human chiropractic, but adapted for the anatomy of dogs. It's a safe and comfortable experience for pups.
