Chiropractic Treatment
 Important
nerves pass very close to most of the body’s joints. If the bones get moved out
of alignment, even by a small amount, they can sometimes pinch these nerves.
This is like stepping on a hosepipe – reducing the messages to and from the
muscles.
This can reduce
movement, induce pain or discomfort like sciatica, or impair the function of
internal organs. When released, things go back to normal quickly, as no
permanent damage is caused by these subtle misalignments if corrected quickly.
 Once
Vav has found the misalignments, she can then adjust the bones with a rapid and
accurately placed thrust so that healthy alignment is restored. Occasionally she
will stretch a limb, for instance to adjust the pelvis or loosen a hock, etc.
The treatment rarely
hurts, and if it does, the adjustment will release the cause of the pain.
Younger pets may get
better immediately. Older patients might have age-related problems that cannot
be cured as such, but chiropractic can make them more comfortable, and perhaps
help them fend off new illnesses better.
Vav recommends six
monthly check-ups to keep the body as straight as possible.
