What can Osteopathy help with in regards to animal care?
Performance
Sport and performance animal (race horses, jumpers, hunters, barrel racers, flyball and agility dogs) place their bodies under tremendous strain. Athletes are prone to repetitive task injuries, and this can lead to expensive interventions, as well as significant intervals of down time. Osteopathy can reduce the risk of injury while improving movement – all of this improves performance and increases longevity in competition.
Recovery
Whether reconvening from an injury, or rehabbing after surgery, osteopathy can assist in restoring motion, improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage and in supporting nerve function. This translates to improved healing ability and potentially increased return to normal every day function. Osteopathy has a great effect on painful conditions and we often see improved ability to sleep and heal.
Support
Illness or chronic medical conditions often wreak havoc on the body. Everything from arthritis (which causes pain) to incontinence (which is a pain…) can benefit from osteopathic therapy. By supporting the function of anatomical structures, and ensuring good blood flow, drainage and nerve signalling, osteopathy supports your pet. This often leads to a reduction in pain, a reduction of symptoms, and sometimes a reduced need for pharmaceutical support.
Please Note:
Armstrong Veterinary Osteopathy provides ONLY osteopathic manual therapy. We DO NOT provide routine veterinary care (vaccines, emergency services etc).
