Why does my dog need a chiropractor?

Your canine ages and experiences pain just like you do, so it’s only natural that you would want to help aid and relieve their discomfort. Dr Watterson is fully qualified in animal chiropractic, with a complex understanding of the canine body. Your dog’s spine is a vital part of their life, impacting their movement, their flexibility and coordination. Monitoring and checking on this part of your dog can help decrease pains that come with aging, improve mobile function and help with minimising or preventing injuries.

As one of Melbourne’s few qualified animal chiropractors, Dr Watterson is familiar with treating a number of conditions, including:

  • Lower and middle back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Hip and hind limb pains
  • Elbow and forelimb pains
  • Joint and muscle problems
  • Arthritis
  • Recovery and rehabilitation from musculoskeletal injury
  • And more

A suffering dog may not be able to express to you if they are uncomfortable or in pain. You may not even notice the signs or symptoms if you inspect. This is why it’s important a qualified chiropractor treats and inspects your dog, so they can provide early treatment or even prevention of any discomforts. Dr Watterson remains completely mindful and careful of your dog’s specific needs, with experience handling shy, sensitive or upset dogs of all kinds. Book today for peace of mind on your dog’s health.
