Canine Rehabilitation

South Benfleet Chiropractor Dr. Stuart Lawrence adjusting small dogOur canine rehabilitation program is designed to help your dog heal better and move more efficiently. Whether your dog is recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or simply aging, our goal is to restore and maintain their functionality and mobility. Here’s what you can expect:

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments for dogs involve specific high-velocity, low-amplitude techniques. These adjustments are carefully and safely administered to increase or improve the function of restricted motion segments in your dog’s spine and joints. This approach helps relieve pain, improve movement, and enhance overall well-being.

Prescribed Exercises and Stretches

In addition to adjustments, we prescribe exercises and stretches that are similar to those used in human physiotherapy. These exercises are tailored to your dog’s specific needs and conditions. We take the time to educate you on proper form and any restrictions to ensure the best outcomes for your pet.

Advanced Equipment for Canine Support

To support your dogs rehabilitation we may use specialised equipment like the Theraplate or Laser alongside our stance analysis machine for the more subtle lameness cases or show dog stance issues, of which we have had Crufts level success!

Seeing Results

With a commitment to the rehabilitation program, clients can expect to see mobility improvements within 4-6 weeks. This typically involves initial visits of 1-2 times per week, gradually reducing as your dog progresses and improves.

Specialised Care for Certain Breeds

Certain breeds, such as Bulldogs and Dachshunds, are prone to back issues and often respond very well to our chiropractic care and rehabilitation. Our tailored approach ensures that each dog receives the specific care they need to live a more comfortable and active life.

Optimising Your Dog’s Quality of Life

Our ultimate goal is to optimise your dog’s quality of life. Through our comprehensive rehabilitation program, we aim to help your dog regain or maintain their functionality and mobility, allowing them to enjoy their favourite activities well into their senior years.
