The Skinny on Intervertebral Disc Disease

The Skinny on Intervertebral Disc Disease

Dr. Christina Cole of Advanced Animal Chiropractic is back on our blog today to discuss a serious ailment facing many local pets, Intervertebral Disc Disease:

Over the last few months, a multitude of clients have come my way with a diagnosis of Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) in various stages of progression. I’m sure part of it has to do with my profession, as an animal chiropractor people naturally think of me when it comes to back problems. Unfortunately, the majority of patients have come my way a bit too late. As you may or may not know, chiropractic adjustments do not treat anything in particular besides structural shifts in the spine. These shifts can cause many problems, IVDD being one of them.
