Hi! My name is Chase. I’ve had treatments by Dr Britt for my hip and knee as I’ve been limping quite a bit! I have hip dysplasia! The hip joint functions as a ball and socket. In dogs with hip dysplasia, the ball and socket do not fit or develop properly, and they rub and grind instead of sliding smoothly. (See my X-ray by swiping right!) This results in deterioration over time and an eventual loss of function of the joint itself.... There are quite a few treatment options for hip dysplasia in dogs, ranging from lifestyle modifications to surgery. If your dog’s hip dysplasia is not severe, or if your dog is not a candidate for surgery for medical or financial reasons, your veterinarian may recommend a nonsurgical approach. Depending on your dog’s case, the vet may suggest the following: Weight reduction to take stress off of the hips Exercise restriction, especially on hard surfaces Physical therapy (like a chiro) Joint supplements Anti-inflammatory medications (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids) #headtotailchiro #chaseisonthecase #feelingbetteralready #adjustment #dogchiropractor

Welcome to the Team REDINO ! REDINO is an 11yo #PuraRazaEspanola and a bit of a special horse as he participated in #Cavalia horse show !

Hi! I’m KEVIN. A 5 year old #apha and boy do I love getting treatment! First treatment with doctor britt this week and I impressed her during my exam. I’m in barrel racing and the winner is determined by who can run the barrel-racing pattern in the fastest time. The rider’s horsemanship skills, the horse’s mental condition, and the horse’s athleticism are all very crucial to providing a good time. It’s crucial for horses like me to move well. #horsesoflondon #animalchiro #headtotailchiro @ St. Thomas, Ontario

Serenity is a 22 year old thoroughbred bay stands 16 hands high. She came to #belvoirestate to participate in their #equinetherapy program for PTSD. Prior to her time at Belvoir estate she was a race horse and was terribly abused during that time. It took a while to get her to trust again. Belvoir is her 13th owner. She has settled in beautifully and takes her role in the herd very seriously. #adjustthehorse #animalchiro #headtotailchiro #happyhorse #londonontario @ London, Ontario

Welcome to the team @daisytheqh We started treating this sweet gal this week. Working with her farrier we noted some hind end Sacroilliac stiffness ... A couple of adjustments and we should have this beauty moving well! #headtotailchiro #animalchiro #stthomasproud

Here’s a new patient who came to me last week. #Degenerativemyelopathy initially affects the back legs and causes muscle weakness and loss, and lack of coordination. These cause a staggering affect that may appear to be arthritis. The dog may drag one or both rear paws when it walks. This dragging can cause the nails of one foot to be worn down. Exercise has been recommended to maintain the dog's ability to walk. #Chiropracticcare may prolong the length of time that the dog r...emains mobile and increase survival time. Canine hydrotherapy (swimming) may be more useful than walking #headtotailchiro #stthomasproud @ Head To Tail Chiropractic

Hi! My name is Chancey! I’m loving my sessions with dr Britt @elginanimalhospital We have been working on my hind end weakness and I get to go to the neurologist this week for a check up to see why my hind end has been dragging so much.

Meet MOE! 4 YO quarter horse with HX of headshaking since the new owner acquired him Trigeminal-mediated headshaking, also known as equine idiopathic headshaking (HSK), is still a perplexing disorder in horses. Confusing to diagnose and difficult to treat, it is a medical condition recognized by veterinarians with ongoing research being performed to best diagnose and treat this mysterious syndrome. The exact etiology of headshaking is unknown. However, hypersensitivity of th...e trigeminal nerve, inflammation of the trigeminal ganglia or an immune-mediated reaction may be causative factors of the disorder. The trigeminal nerve is responsible for facial sensation. A veterinarian will typically rule out other medical reasons for head shaking behavior such as middle ear disorders, ear mites, cranial nerve disorders, guttural pouch infection or a head trauma. HSK most commonly affects geldings and can be observed in all ages, with symptoms most commonly appearing in mature horses between the ages of seven and nine Headshaking often develops suddenly with some cases resolving spontaneously, while others worsen as time goes on. It’s generally recommended to start with a single treatment and continue long enough to know if the treatment has effect. As a main cause of headshaking is hypersensitization of the trigeminal nerve, anything to reduce or calm the firing of this nerve may be beneficial. Exposure to sunlight seems to be one of the most common causes for headshaking. If photic headshaking is thought to be a problem, using a 90% UV blocking mask and keeping the horse in a screened or darker stall during the day, with turnout at night can be tried for management. Now you know :) #headtotailchiro #animalchiro #quarterhorse #deervalleystables @deer_valley_stables
