| Veterinary chiropractic describes the examination, diagnosis and treatment of nonhuman animals through manipulation and adjustments of the skull and specific joints of the skeletal system. Gravity takes a toll on any living body on earth. Additionally, our culture exposes our pets to conditions that they ordinarily wouldn’t encounter in nature: third story walk-up townhouses, cars and trucks that are high off the ground, and commercial pet foods that are high in carbohydrates, leading to obesity. All of these factors may lead to problems with the musculoskeletal system. When the nervous system is situated optimally in its protective skeleton, the body’s immune system works efficiently to heal and protect against a variety of diseases. Acupuncture and chiropractic modalities work well together, and often Dr. Pozniak will utilize both modalities in the same treatment session. This also makes scheduling more convenient for working pet owners. You can go to the Animal Chiropratic Association site for more details about chiropractic. |
