Call 608-655-1800 to schedule a consultation! The intervertebral discs sit between the vertebrae in your dog's spine. Intervertebral discs are tiny shock absorbers that dissipate the forces on your dog's spine. If too much force is placed on intervertebral discs, they can become damaged. This condition is referred to as intervertebral disc disease ("slipped disc"). Signs of disc problems include back pain, limping, leg weakness, and the inability to move. Animal Holistic Care Specialists treat disc disease in dogs with acupuncture, chiropractic, pain-free JointYoga, herbal medicine, and homeopathy. These methods are safer and more effective than the drugs and surgery that are commonly used to treat canine disc disease. |

Acupuncture for Disc Disease Andy was paralyzed in his rear legs due to disc disease that followed trauma. He received eight acupuncture treatments with electro-stimulation and Chinese herbal therapy over 4 weeks and began to walk on his own. He continued Weekly acupuncture for another month and now is seen every 4-6 weeks for acupuncture and chiropractic therapy. Andy is happy, pain free and mobile, back to hopping on chairs and sleeping on the bed. Chiropractic for Disc Disease in Dogs Fritz is a 6-year-old miniature Dachshund who became paralyzed in March of 2009. Fritz's owner, Simone, brought him to Animal Holistic Care Specialists to see Wisconsin veterinarian Dr. Dawn Mogilevsky after he had been unable to move his hind legs for 1 week. Fritz received chiropractic spinal manipulation to release pressure on the disc and nerves in the area of injury. Fritz was also given the homeopathic supplements Traumeel and Discus Compositum, and the Chinese herbal supplements Double PII and Hindquarter Weakness. After his first treatment, Fritz was able to stand on his hind legs if he was supported!

Jointyoga Light Therapy for Ruptured Disc Light therapy can add oxygen to hemoglobin in blood as it passes by the injured area.

Light therapy is most effective over specific body points called JOINTYOGA POINTS where the light can most easily travel deeply into the body. What is JointYoga for Dogs? JointYoga is an easy-to-follow system that improves your dog's strength, flexibility and balance. The principles and techniques are derived from yoga, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage and visualization. |
