1. PAIN
• multiple techniques aid the reduction of pain all over the body

2. MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS
• Arthritis
• Imbalance in musculature – from injury/irritated nerves
• Muscle atrophy
• Muscle spasm – tight tendons eg superficial digital flexors
• Cruciate treatment
• Old fractures and imbalance in the body
• Abnormal gaits

3. NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
• pain along spine
• disc compression
• signs of abnormal nervous function

4. URINARY INCONTINENCE
Pudental and parasympathetic nerves to bladder – have had some great success with dogs restricted around the L-S area.

5. SKIN — trophic changes to skin
• Skin has a very high concentration of nerves – don’t overlook
• Tightness around skin can decrease blood supply and metabolism and inflammatory response can be influenced.
• Lick granulomas – 9/10 cases of lick granuloma I have seen have restrictions around the peripheral nerve root. These responded well to chiropractic treatment.
• Note changes in coat colour/oiliness/dullness etc – these may indicate poor nerve conduction.

6. DIGESTION PROBLEMS
• Noted occipital restrictions with intermittent/difficult to diagnose vomiting (consider the Vagus nerve) and improvement after adjustment.
• Pain around the T10-13 area associated with gut problems (liver/intestines etc)

7. BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS
• PAIN – undiagnosed pain can be a source of sudden poor/aggressive behaviours – numerous
animals treated chiropractically have improved their behaviour and obedience.

8. DRY EYE
Consider the sympathetic pathway from the thoracics to the eye/lacrimal gland.

Every day benefits in veterinary practice
