Chiropractic Care for Greyhound

Background

A life of racing left Tygon, a 7-year-old Greyhound, with shoulder and back problems. His pet parent, Patrice G., looked to alternative therapies to give Tygon some relief.

Patrice tells Tygon's story:

"Tygon is a retired racing greyhound that started to have problems with his shoulders and back about a year after we adopted him. After doing some research, it appears that he had a collision during a race. Collisions on the track are very violent, often flipping the dogs end-over-end. Tygon was not seriously injured and was able to finish the race but this is where we believe his problem originated.

"After consulting the vet, we decided to try a dog chiropractor instead of more invasive procedures. I was very skeptical about it but it has worked wonders on him. Today, he sees the chiropractor a couple times a year. This keeps him happy and pain-free so he can be his goofy self."
