Network Chiropractic (Page 2)
 What will I see?
- Dr. Van Cise does a thorough physical exam before starting any network chiropractic treatment. He also asks questions related to possible causes of the imbalance. The exam will pick up such abnormalities as "short leg", "laterality", and "correlation". Because humans are treated lying on their abdomens, one leg will actually be visibly shorter when the legs are flexed at the knees. Since most of our patients stand on four legs, this physical shift is not as apparent.
Once the degree and location of the changes have been established, a light touch is applied in very specific locations. This allows the energy to realign properly along the spinal column. Frequently your pet will move much more normally immediately after the treatment. Occasionally you may hear the spine pop back into place hours or days after the therapy session.
- What does my pet feel?
- While there is a lot of direct contact between Dr. V and your pet, all the touching is very light. The touch is so light that neither you nor your pet may be aware that a treatment is going on. Your pet feels no heavy pressure or pain. Frequently you will notice a more relaxed expression on your pet's face.
Why would I want this for my pet?
- You might choose this form of alternative treatment because you have had good success with chiropractic therapy. While this does not guarantee that your pet will respond as well as you, it is usually beneficial to use treatments in which the owner has confidence.
Network chiropractic is also a good choice as a preparatory therapy. When the patient is in good spinal energy balance other forms of treatment, especially acupuncture and acuscope, work better. Network chiropractic is very useful as a "tune up" form of therapy to help your pet feel and function better.
