Subluxations are caused by one or a combination of three things: trauma, toxins and/or stress. Trauma may be from the very apparent and memorable hit by a car or flipping over while getting out of the tree or it could be from repetitive micro trauma such as being chased by the neighbours dog over and over again. One of the obvious signs of a cat that is subluxated is the lovely cat rubbing against your leg or into your hand until you get to one particular spot where he turns on you and tries to bite you. When you repeat the move the same thing happens at the same spot every time. Since we don’t see too many cat shows anymore and since cats don’t seem to have the same ability to have a job as dogs seem to have or even horses, some people would feel that adjusting a cat is not necessary. However, similar symptoms as the dog and horse are exhibited in the cat when they are not at their biomechanical optimum. If your cat exhibits any of the following signs or symptoms he or she should see a certified Animal Chiropractor:
a Mood changes, changes in his or her habits
a Tenderness shown when being petted
a Continual licking on one of the cats paws or limbs
a Diarrhea or constipation
a Limping, dragging a limb
a Abnormal laziness
a Short striding
a Holding the tail to one side
a Abnormal posture when standing
a Shaking of the head
a Injuries from falls or other causes
a Chronic disease or infections
a Weakened immune system
a Degenerative Arthritis
aWellness care for maintenance of spinal and joint health
The only way to be sure if your cat’s spine is healthy is to have him or her examined by a Certified Animal Chiropractor. The examination will include posture analysis, gait analysis, vertebral and extremity (legs) static palpation, vertebral and extremity motion palpation, short leg analysis, orthopedic evaluation and neurological evaluation. Chiropractors also make sure that your pet is under the care of a veterinarian as animal chiropractic does not attempt to replace necessary traditional veterinary care. Only your veterinarian can dispense medications, perform surgery, take blood work as well as inject medications. Working together, we can help you keep your cat in the best possible health.
