Pet Chiropractic
Caring for the pets we love is about more than just providing food, shelter, vaccinations, and love. While that’s a good start, long-term health and well-being may also include advanced therapies previously reserved for humans that are also effective in helping our companion animals. Veterinary chiropractic services is one of those, and we are thrilled to have Dr. Donna Gigliotti join West Lehigh Veterinary Care.
Just as in people, this growing field of animal health care focuses on the restoration and preservation of the neuro-musculoskeletal system. It is a non-surgical, drug-free option for correcting bone, disc, and soft-tissue disorders as they relate to spinal configuration and movement. Veterinary chiropractic treatments can benefit pets with both acute injuries and chronic conditions, such as:
• Osteoarthritis (Arthritis)
• Pain associated with hip dysplasia
• Intervertebral disc disease (slipped disc)
• Idiopathic lameness
• Weakness in a leg
• Urinary incontinence
• Sports injuries
• Other neurological conditions
Chiropractic care is not limited to an injured or sick pet. This therapy can assist healthy and athletic animals as well, helping them maintain proper structural alignment. Other benefits can also include healthier metabolism and improved immune function. However, it’s important to note that chiropractic care is not intended as primary health care or as a replacement for veterinary medicine.
If you think your pet might benefit from chiropractic care, don’t hesitate to call us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Donna.
